Wolfbat


 * This article is about the creature. For the pro-bending team, see White Falls Wolfbats.

Wolfbats are a species of animals native to caves of the Earth Kingdom, particularly the Cave of Two Lovers.

Anatomy
Wolfbats are the size of a wolf and generally resemble the canine, except for their bat-like wings and face. They are brown in coloration, quadrupedal and possess a set of webbed wings with which they use to fly. They boast sharp, pointed teeth and a snout that resembles that of a hog's.

Connection
In appearance, the wolfbats are, quite appropriately, a fusion between a wolf and a bat. It is unclear whether the wolfbat uses echolocation to determine prey, like a bat, or relies primarily on scent, like a wolf.

The world's largest real world bats are known as flying foxes, which have fox-like heads but bat-like wings and bodies.

Behavior
Territorial by nature, wolfbats only leave their normal habitat at night. They tend to congregate in large groups, making them even more dangerous. Their only predator is the gigantic badgermole, but they are also frightened by fire.

Trivia

 * Seventy years after the Hundred Year War, a pro-bending team named itself the White Falls Wolfbats. The team even went as far as being dressed up as wolfbats when they were introduced.
