Unlike many normal bats, the carrion bat is not merely a scavenger but rather an active predator. Though it prefers to eat rotting cadavers, it simply lets its kills rot rather than scavenging for leftovers of other creatures' kills. The carrion bat employs a shriek that can cause paralysis.[1]
Carrion bats are known to inhabit the following domains: Barovia[2], Borca[3], Falkovnia[4], Hazlan[5], Nova Vaasa[6]

Descriptive Text
Fletch, my beloved hawk lay at my feet, dead. She had been sent plummeting from the evening sky by neither wound nor illness but rather the accursed shriek of a hideous bat of extraordinary size which had the gall to smirk down at its handiwork from an overhanging branch. Slowly I drew forth my throwing dagger, but the foul creature sensed the danger and again spit forth its hideous cry. I froze in place and it swooped down at my exposed neck. In the moment that it would have cut me open, I twisted away and my blade connected solidly, knocking it from the air. Not a heart-beat was lost in silencing it forever.
