Dingbat

A type of Monster found in a wide variety of locales, the Dingbat is a bat-like creature with a Harpy-like body structure, having animalistic limbs, ears, and tail with a humanoid head a torso. Dingbats are known for their affable, often silly demeanor, loquaciousness, and colonial lifestyle; they dwell in large communities. While most Dingbat morphs are Small, or even Tiny in size, some are Medium-sized creatures. They are highly resistant to Beast Syndrome and frequently consume their food raw, feeding variously on Verminoid Beasts, small game, large insects, fish, birds, normal bats, fruit, and in some cases even nectar or blood, depending on the particular breed. Many are capable of spreading diseases as a means of self-defense, utilizing the hypnotic or destructive powers of their voices, or employing some forms of magic but as a whole are notably weak among Monsters. As a species, they survive through high reproductive rates and mobility and are particularly vulnerable due to their lack of proper hands and the effective capacity to create and utilize tools, which limits their combat and cultural potential.
Dingbats are known to cling to individuals who catch their interest both literally and figuratively, their social drives causing them to be very friendly and helpful... or to attempt to be. They are also known for being emotionally needy, with a tendency to be highly dependent on others for support when not in a colony. Dingbats have a tendency to be awkward and clumsy, easily distracted, and easily amused, with a childish playfulness that never really goes away.
