A dire bat has a wingspan of 15 feet and weighs about 200 pounds.
Dire bats swoop down upon unsuspecting prey from above.
A dire bat uses echolocation to pinpoint creatures within 40 feet. Opponents still have total concealment against the bat unless it can actually see them.
Dire bats have a +4 racial bonus on Spot and Listen checks. These bonuses are lost if its blindsense is negated.
