Bat

Bats are flying mammals (the only ones in the real world, in fact). Associated primarily with Black mana, Magic's bats tend to be fearsome and dangerous, a stark constrast to the harmless tiny insect-eating flyers from our world (although those do exist on the Multiverse, such as Dakmor Bat). More often than not they are associated with Vampires.

Types of Bat

Vampire Bats

The classical Vampire Bats from the Magic setting are much unlike Desmodus, being titanic flying creatures that may be used as steeds as in Kulrath Knight. They occur in Dominaria and Shadowmoor, as well in a few other planes.

Ravnican Bats

Bats in Ravnica are primarily associated with the Orzhov Syndicate. Unlike other bats, which are primarily Black, these bats, specially the Blind Hunters, are mostly equally White as well. Used as assassins and messengers.

Mirrodin Bats

Grimclaw Bats patrolled the Mephidross. Its unclear what happened to them in New Phyrexia.Template:Races
