Legendary Bat (3.5e Monster)

Legendary Bat
Legendary bats lead large flocks of vampire bats and dire bats to hunt blood in dense forests and dark caves. They are not usually killers and instead prefer to drain enough blood to force their victims to recover nearby. Legendary bats often will direct their brethren to feed until a creature can barely stand and then bring it to a place where it can recover, feeding on it again once it is well. As a result, these bats are somewhat like farmers. They also don't hesitate to turn humanoids into their livestock.

Although it is as intelligent as a human, a legendary bat cannot speak any languages.

Strategies and Tactics
A legendary bat will often call its brethren if it sees opportunity for an easy meal. It uses hit and run tactics, like dire bats, but will also teleport between shadows to strike from unexpected places.
