Physical Description

There are three different types of Batfolk, Fruit, Vampire, and Flower Batfolk. They are all simply humanoids with batlike features.

They stand about 5 to 8 feet tall and weigh around 80 to 100 pounds.

Batfolk get along well with all races but get along best of all with Eaglefolk, Gnomes, Halflings, and Dwarves. They are a little nervous around Catfolk and Lionfolk, but they get along fine.

Alignment

Fruit Batfolk tend towards the Lawful Good alignment because they want to be as close to their diety, Notte, as possible.
