Theoptipteron

Theoptipteron, or flocking bats, are a species of cephalocular chiroptera found all cross welt.
The animals live in caves, but can be found resting in trees during the day. 
The bat differs in its anatomy by having a large single eye common to cephalocular species, that composes the majority of its weight, two wings and vestigial legs that serve only to moor the bat to a surface.
Flocking bats are predatory, and usually fly around aimlessly until they detect prey that they will pursue in groups of three to flocks of nearly a hundred individuals.
== Behavior ==
One observed active attack strategy is for the bats to briefly pause above a target before striking in a coordinated fashion.
=== Gargoyling ===
These bats are known to stay perfectly still in their caves until their prey has its back turned to attack them.
=== Environmental adaptation ===
Theoptipterons are known to adapt to their surrounding environment, mostly due to their proximity to combustion salts in caves. Notable variants include Fire, Thunder and Gelid flocking bats, though these are much less prone to swarm, they are extremely hazardous in flocks. These variants are susceptible to IEDM's.
=== Bat hunting ===

As small and commonplace animals, theoptipterons are relatively weak and can be dispatched in a variety of ways. Bat hunting is a common practice for food and pest control.
Theoptipteron eyes and wings are used in archery as arrowtips and fletching.
