Shapechanger. The werebat can use its action to polymorph into a bat-humanoid hybrid or a giant bat, or back into its true form, which is humanoid. Its statistics, other than its size and AC, are the same in each form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn't transformed. It reverts to its true form if it dies.

Echolocation. The werebat can't use its blindsight while deafened.

Keen Hearing. The werebat has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing.

Sound Sensitivity. Whenever the werebat takes 11 or more thunder damage from a single attack, it must make a Constitution saving throw with a DC of 5 + the damage taken. On a failure the werebat is deafened and stunned for 1 minute. It may repeat the saving throw at the start of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

ACTIONS

Multiattack (Humanoid or Hybrid Form Only). The werebat makes two attacks, only one of which may be a bite.

Bite (Bat or Hybrid Form Only). Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (2d4 + 2) piercing damage. If the target is humanoid it must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or be cursed with werebat lycanthropy.

Claws (Hybrid Form Only). Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d6 + 2) slashing damage.

Scimitar (Humanoid or Hybrid Form Only). Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) slashing damage.

Swoop (Hybrid Form Only). The werebat can only use this attack if it begins its turn in flight. The werebat flies low over a target, slashing it with its hind claws before flying away. The werebat uses up to its full movement towards a target, makes one claw attack with advantage on the attack roll or one grapple check with advantage on the roll, then uses the Dash action as a bonus action to fly away. Any opportunity attacks made against the werebat when it uses this action are made with disadvantage.


Source

Werebats are conniving lycanthropes that live in dark places like caves. In humanoid form, werebats have large ears and pointed teeth, and are lazy and sleepy by day. Most fight in hybrid form, grabbing foes with their claws and flying off with them, biting them in midair.

Characters as Werebats

A character that becomes a werebat gains a Dexterity of 16 if his or her score isn't already higher, and a +1 bonus to AC while in bat or hybrid form (from natural armour). Attack and damage rolls for the natural weapons are based on the character's Strength.

gollark: Why are *those* your two options? What?

gollark: Anyway. Median American families are not actually you[citation needed]. You have different preferences and different requirements. Consider them.

gollark: Also, £103/year on reading? That's only something like 15 books.

gollark: Just determine some reasonable amount of things to get for yourself and donate/save excesses, I guess.

gollark: You should not let yourself be bound by the wrong and bad spending habits of the median family.
