The Batpig was a genetically mutated hybrid between a bat and a pig.
At the First Woj's Races on 4E:396 HyperSilence created the Batpig through alchemical sorcery using power vested in him as the Archpriest of Eris. After producing a series of unholy abominations—including a creeper riding a horse that participated in the races themselves—he perfected the process and produced the Batpig to the shock and amazement of those in attendance.
The aberration was able to achieve lift from the bat's wings. Upon Tox's suggestion to place a saddle on the Batpig, Retro mounted it on the inaugural test run and became the first mortal in the history of Dragonhollow to achieve flight. Further experimentation revealed that the Batpig could not be directed by a carrot-on-stick, as its motor control apparently originated with the bat's brain.
After a second and third flight by Tox and Retro respectively, the Batpig gained altitude above Castle Wojcik and disappeared from sight, though Hyper tracked it further into the stratosphere. It was last seen over the ocean near Wright's Bridge.
Those Batpig rides would remain the only instance of mortal flight until Tox raided the Skeleton Den and obtained the first elytra on 4E:423, a discovery that made flying possible for everyone.
In the Seventh Era, the Batpig reappeared in Hammerlea on 7E:50 and at Eastbrook Raceway on 7E:86. It is unknown if these were separate Batpigs or if the original migrated across the planet from the Summerlands to the Hammerlands.
The Batpig was mentioned in When Pigs Fly.
