''Chiropteryx, also known as 'vampire bat', is a supernatural species of bat that feasts on the blood of the living to sustain itself. Bigger than a human when standing up on its feet with dark, leathery wings that wreathe around its body like a grotesque cloak, these lethal predators glide through the darkness without a hint of sound.''

Chiropteryx stand around 7 feet tall from head to feet, with a wingspan of between 20 to 25 feet. Although lesser in bulk than their suspected closest relative, the [[SRD:Dire Bat|dire bat]], their wings are both larger and faster, and their ability to hunt and kill verges on the supernatural. Despite the size of their wings, they can retract them very close to their bodies midflight to clear narrow spaces without impeding speed or maneuverability.
