Suggestion

Species

 Mystacina miocenalis


Time

Middle Miocene 

Diet

Omnivorous 

Temperament

Neutral 
 

Wild
A species of small sized walking bats that prowl the forest floors across the jungles of the Arks,  these small creatures forage for fruit and carcasses, but they prefer to feed on bugs.  They spend the daytime hiding in a colony in small burrows where they cannot be found, at night they come out and can be seen flying or scuttling around. They seem unafraid of survivors and won’t flee or spook, making them easy to tame by giving them delicious bugs you bring them. If a survivor is lucky enough to locate a den they can loot it for whatever goodies the bat has unearthed, from precious stones to lost items, this will cause the inhabitants of the den to become aggressive and swarm you with painful bites for a short time.

Domesticated 
A passive tame that is quite simple to attain, at first they seem to be a normal shoulder pet with limited use, but many survivors have discovered that these bats release a foul odor that makes creatures that like dismounting you such as Purlovia end up stunned instead! The bat will also deliver a life saving bite that will remove a stunned state to its owner, making them a great little companion. Also in the company of other bat species these little creatures will give them a minor buff similar to a pack boost but not as efficient as long as it is on on the owner’s shoulder. Also much like the hawks on Fjordur they will bring you your possessions if you perish. They are omnivores so keeping them fed is no trouble in hard times. They can also cling to walls when sleeping in your base and make adorable noises.

 

 

The idea behind this is we absolutely need an anti-stun lock tame… also because why not go for a full Bat Rider set as we have a full “Eagle” Rider set. Basically it tames similar to the Hawks, but bringing it bugs is better for effectiveness. The dens are basically mini-Beaver dams but with a regular lootcrate inventory, so you can get basic stuff out of it.. not totally worth it but if in a pinch it could be worth it. Wanted to make them not a total reskin of the hawks so they do function differently outside the return items function, meaning that both have a function distinct from the other. To note they only fly when fleeing or attacking in the wild, just to make finding them easier.
