===Bats===
 +
Lot of species here but the reasonably condensed list goes:
 +
 
 +
Fruit bats (what you probably picture when you think of vampires)
 +
 
 +
Sac-winged bats (little bit lighter, have pheromone sacks on their wings and short tails.)
 +
 
 +
Bumblebee bat (has the nose that looks like a pig. Small enough that it almost has to be vermin and should maybe be omitted.)
 +
 
 +
Horseshoe bats (they have a little doodlebop on their noses shaped like a horseshoe or leaf.)
 +
 
 +
Slit faced bats (they've got a split down the middle of their face and their tails end in a T. Also have a nose-leaf)
 +
 
 +
Ghost bat (has a membrane that makes it look like a ghost and is otherwise shaped like a vampire bat but eats insects. No tail.)
 +
 
 +
Vesper bats (common bat.)
 +
 
 +
Pallid bats (vesper bats with big eyes and ears, probably omit.)
 +
 
 +
Free tail bats (Might want to just do Western mastiff bat because it's so big, for a bat.)
 +
 
 +
Funnel Ear Bats
 +
 
 +
Sucker Foot bats
 +
 
 +
Fisherman bats (they've got food pouches in their face- also called bulldog bats.)
 +
 
 +
Mystacinidae (These spend a lot of time walking instead of flying and can tuck away their wings. Only one species still around.)
 +
 
 +
Moustache bats (these are the commercial guano producers because they have such huge colonies.)
 +
 
 +
leaf nose bats. Probably just make one creature for these but really common
