Hive Mind. The Blighted Ice Bat shares a hive mentality with other Blighted creatures, allowing them to act in unison. If one Blighted creature is aware of a hostile creature, all others in the hive mind are also aware.
Blighted Scourge. Natural weapon attacks by the Blighted Ice Bat carry the Blighted Scourge infection. A creature hit by its bite must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or contract the Blighted Scourge.
Keen Hearing. The Blighted Ice Bat has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing.
Frost Aura. The Blighted Ice Bat emits a 10-foot radius of frigid air. Any creature that starts its turn within the aura must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or take 7 (2d6) cold damage and reduce its speed by 10 feet until the start of the creature’s next turn. Blighted creatures are immune to this effect.
Icy Death Burst. When the Blighted Ice Bat drops to 0 hit points, it bursts in a wave of cold energy. Each creature within 10 feet must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or take 14 (4d6) cold damage and be infected with the Blighted Scourge.

Description
A terrifying Blighted Ice Bat, a medium-sized winged beast corrupted by the Blighted Scourge. Its leathery wings are torn and jagged, with icy frost spreading across them. The creature’s eyes glow an eerie blue, and its fanged maw drips with blighted energy. Its claws, razor-sharp and coated in ice, leave a freezing mist in their wake. A chilling aura of blighted frost surrounds it, distorting the air around its body. The bat hovers menacingly, ready to strike, in a dark and twisted frozen cavern.
