Homebrew Long-Eared Batfolk Species Details
While flying, Long-Eared Batfolk look and act much like large, white bats. When they descend and walk across the ground they appear humanoid in nature, however retain ears easily double the size of their heads and a snout-like nose. Standing upright, Long-Eared Batfolk reach around 3 feet tall, and they have long, narrow legs and arms. Their wings extend with their arms, but when folded, just look like an odd cape. Fur covers their bodies but not their arms, legs, or wings. Genders are indistinguishable from each other to races outside bird or bat-like.
Long-Eared Batfolk live in large groups in protected nature areas. Most are nocturnal but those who venture from their normal areas tend to adapt to those they spend time with. For the most part they are unfamiliar with common practices, despite knowing the language, there are defiantly still cultural barriers.
