Hollowwing Bat

Kela nocturnal predator

1.0 to 2.5 meters
Weight
60 to 400 kg
Lifespan
30 to 50 years

The Hollowwing Bat is a giant nocturnal predator of Kela's polar shelves and cliffs that actively seeks out humans, especially pregnant women. It ranges from 1.0 to 2.5 meters and 60 to 400 kg. Its reptile-like skin is covered in small hairs that shield it against the cold, while its soft underbelly stays exposed. It has very large eyes and protruding ears that wrap from the forehead to the back of the head, which enable echolocation for silent swoops through the dark.

It adds nothing to the ecosystem, and its hunting of humans sets back the recovering gender ratio, on which the planet cannot afford to lose further ground. Dedicated hunting groups in Kela pursue its eradication. The Kela Maritime Guild pays for each body as proof of kill, which gives the poor a path out of poverty through the hunt. It is one of the few species on Geba whose extinction is actively pursued.
