Editing Dropclaw Bats

'''Dropclaw bats''' are a type of monstrous bats living in caves. Compared to normal bats, they are rather dangerous.

== Appearance ==
They have very sharp and large claws that allow them a single, deadly strike.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/10/19/glossary/ The Wandering Inn Glossary]</ref>

They can be twice as large as a human’s head and have tough leathery skin.<ref name="2.19G">[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/04/27/2-01-g/ Chapter 2.19 G]</ref> ''(It is unclear if that measurement is of their body without wings, or the entire wingspan.)''

== Behavior ==
Besides hunting insects, Dropclaw bats also hunt after meat. With their sharp claws, they drop on the heads of anything that enters their nests, which led to them being named for that inclination. They tend to ignore skeletal undead and other constructs,<ref name="2.19G" /> but are a danger to the casual explorer.<ref name="5.41">[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/11/27/5-41/ Chapter 5.41]</ref>

While they are blind or at least can't see well<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/02/05/5-57/ Chapter 5.57]</ref>, they can be panicked by fire, including magical fire.<ref name="2.19G" />

== Usage ==
Dropclaw Bats are edible, at least for Goblins.<ref name="2.19G" />

So far, they have not been noted as alchemist ingredient.

== Liscor's Dropclaw bat cave ==
[[Rags]] cleared out the [[Liscor's Dungeon|cave dungeon entrance]] that leads to the [[Shield Spiders|Shield Spider]] pit, and where numerous Dropclaw bats lived. Goblins still refer to the place by its former inhabitants, even when they are long gone.<ref name="5.41" /><ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/01/15/5-53/ Chapters 5.53], [https://wanderinginn.com/2019/02/26/5-62/ 5.62] and [https://wanderinginn.com/2019/04/20/6-09/ 6.09]</ref>

Other places of the Dungeon still serve as habitat for Dropclaw bats.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/11/17/5-38/ Chapter 5.38]</ref>
