Name:
	Large Bat  (Lesser Animal)

Stats:
	No. Appearing  : 3-18
	Climate/Terrain: Any land
	Frequency      : Uncommon
	Organization   : Flock
	Activity Cycle : Night
	Diet           : Omnivore

Description:
	These creatures are large versions of the carnivorous variety of the
	ordinary bat with 3-foot-long bodies and 5-to 6-foot-long wingspans.
	They dwell in dark caverns, usually underground, and depend on their
	sonar in flight to compensate for their poor eyesight.

Combat:
	Extremely maneuverable in flight, large bats gain an armour class bonus
	of +3 when an opponent with low dexterity fires a missile weapon at it.
	The creature must land (usually on its victim) to attack with its bite.
	Anyone bitten by a large bat has a 1% chance per point of damage done
	to contract rabies.

	When rabies is contracted, there is a 7-10 day incubation period. Once
	this period has ended, the victim has 10 days to live. The victim can-
	not drink or eat anything and is overly irritable. Anything from loud
	noises to being awakened at night can set the victim off. If temper
	flares, the rabid person is likely to attack until he is killed or
	knocked unconscious. When a character contracts rabies, he or she dies
	from the infliction, unless cured by a wish, alter reality, limited
	wish, cure disease, or similar spell.
