A dog-faced dark grey fruit bat is an automated NPC that flies around Cysaegir. It spends most of its time flying around the town aimlessly or eating. It is only found at night.

Description

Covered from head to toe in shaggy fur, this large bat is almost completely a dark grey-black color, save for a bright rust-orange ruffed collar about its neck.  With a pointed muzzle and long, triangular ears, the creature's face has a very canine shape.  The bat stares out at the world with large, slightly bulging deep brown eyes, its inquisitive demeanor accented by the constant movement of its wiry body.
