==Awakened Bat==

[[Summary::An Awakened Bat is a [[SRD:Bat|bat]] who has become sentient.]] If the Awakened Bat was originally a spellcaster's familiar, they both lose their magical connection, including all benefits with the exception of their [[SRD:Familiars#Empathic_Link|Empathic Link]] and the ability to [[SRD:Familiars#Speak_with_Master|speak with each other]], if the Awakened Familiar wishes. 

===Personality=== <!-- Optional material, please feel free to add or remove anything below this point up until Racial Traits.-->

Most Awakened Bats are reclusive, with the exception of their allies.

===Physical Description===

Awakened Bats look like bats.

===Relations===

Awakened Bats usually avoid relating with those they don't know.

===Alignment===

Awakened Bats are usually Neutral, with some being Good, and rarely Evil. Awakened Bats tend to be chaotic rather than neutral.

===Language===

All Awakened Bats understand Common, however they do not speak it. Despite this, they can get their idea across through the [[#Screeching Speaker|Screeching Speaker]] ability.

===Names===

Awakened Bats usually have already been named before becoming awakened, so they usually keep their original name. Some create surnames for themselves, or use their previous master's surname. Awakened Bats who have children give their child a name similar to their own; if the parent was given a pet name like "Fluffy" or "Bubbles", their child has a pet name. If they have an actual name like "Edward" or "Daniel", their child has an actual name.
