Terrorgheist
Current Month: Julwar 2nd: 209, The Fifth Age
"I have seen them, at night, flapping their mighty wings across the moon. They call to me, tell me I will join them soon."
Terrorgheist are the largest and most ferocious bat species to have ever existed, so large and terrifying that they've grown to the size of Dragons.
In the hidden reaches of the Ways, these titanic bats soar out from their caves to hunt horses, caravans and pegasi under the night skies. It is the ambush tactic of the creatures that give them their truly terrifying reputation. A Terrorgheist's vision is poor, so the swooping monstrosity ensures that its prey is rendered motionless by emitting a piercing shriek so loud and unexpected it can stun even a well trained warhorse into paralysis. At that precise moment, the Terrorgheist will dive down, gather up both rider and mount in its talons, and return to its lair to glut itself on the warm blood of its victims.
