Notes:  Adult Alpollos are the only known example of a bat species capable of supporting its own weight when walking bipedally along the ground, though younger ones usually hover or hang upside down like regular bats.  Having venomous saliva, Alpollos spread this into their fur where it dries and can be dispersed as a toxic cloud when the animal shakes, though the juveniles are most commonly seen doing this.
Hyper carnivores, Alpollos prey on anything they can find, most commonly their relatives, other bats.  Like most bats, they are most often active at night.
Born with a helium bladder, they don't have much to do in order to fly and often sleep while just floating above the ground.
Due to suspected Preserver action, Alpollos are found on numerous planets in several star systems.
