'''Bat men''' are humanoid versions of the common [[bat]] and one of the [[Creature|races]] of tribal [[animal people]] who can be encountered in [[caverns]]. They may also be found on the surface, living in [[savage]] biomes, though these bat men will not live in tribes and will act like the usual mindless animal men.
 
 
 
In the underground, bat men will live in small tribes equipped with wooden [[spear]]s and [[blowgun]]s which may be coated in [[Syndrome|poison]], making them a threat to civilian [[dwarves]] who may need to cross their territory. They are also capable of flight, which makes them marginally harder to hit than other animal people, though an equipped [[military]] squad can make quick work of them.
 
 
 
Some [[dwarves]] [[Preferences|like]] bat men for their ''haunting cries''.

''Some things to watch out for when dealing with bat men:''
 
*They show a preference for working individually, paired up with a different birdman of some type or with [[nightwing]]s.
 
*They are most likely to target the dwarf whose "comedian" attribute is at the highest level.
 
*They are exceptional detectives: given enough preparation time, they can defeat any foe.
 
*Their default identities are a secret.  If you turn this off, their chasm will flood your fortress with [[noble]]s instead.
 
*They can breathe in space.
 
*They are '''vengeance'''.  They are '''the night'''.
 
*Their parents are DEEAAAAAAAD!!!
 
*Batmen '''DO NOT''' eat nachos. They prefer hotdogs instead.

Urist McGordon Jr.: Why's he running, Dad?
 
 
 
Urist McGordon: Because we have to chase him.
 
 
 
Urist McGordon Jr.: He didn't do anything wrong.
 
 
 
Urist McGordon: Because he's the hero our Fortress deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark [[champion]].

Now you will know why you fear the night.
 
 
 
In the legendary tournament Splatterface, it is customary for fans to emit shrieking sounds for the sponsored and popular bat woman gladiator Shrieking Sounds.
 
 
 
Possibly due to a bug, rarely batmen will become stuck in a constant loop of crashing into an obstacle until [[war hammer|put]] [[military|them]] [[steel|out]] [[short sword|of]] [[death|their]] [[fun|misery]]. The screeching cries of a batman stuck in a cycle of forever stubbing their toe has been known to drive dwarves to madness, with some [[drunk|scholars]] saying that if they were able to weaponize this power, they would be able to fend of a siege of [[demon|clowns]] a hundred times over.
