Bat Behemoth (2) - Construction, deforestation, typical Destiny City mishaps–you never know what you’re going to get around here. It starts with a squeak in the sky, and the flapping of heavy wings. If it’s dark enough, maybe you don’t even see the giant bat descending on you. They were pests a few years ago but seemed to have cleared out for the most part–except for a stray one here or there. This one is large even by comparison. It has an eight foot wingspan–a behemoth, growing fat and large in the years since the bats last descended on Destiny City. Maybe you’re lucky, maybe it just swoops by.
Maybe it’s hungry, or mad, and you look like a prime target. If it attacks, you’re in for a rough time. Scratches cause an itch that might last for up to a day, but the bites are the worst. Being bitten by these bats leaves two small marks that will itch for a few hours. Then, exhaustion and fatigue sets in and you become extremely sensitive to external stimulus; skin feels like it becomes overheated in sunlight, bright lights are painful to the eyes, and smells and sounds can seem overwhelming. The victim will feel constantly cold and hungry, no matter how much they eat or drink. They may also be prone to agitation and bouts of violence. These afflictions may last only a few hours or a few days and then suddenly disappear.
(Being attacked by the bat can be counted as a battle once per character provided there are at least two powered characters involved; no matter how much you seem to damage the bat, it will always fly away and hardly even seems worse for the wear. You cannot track it or severely damage it. This prompt can be used for the battle or the afterwards of being attacked, or anything else you might be inspired to play!)

The stretch of time between the first day of fall and the new year always seemed to bring mysterious circumstances to the city. This year was no exception.
Perdita didn’t often find herself in the middle of it all. Her focus at this time of year was on training and competing. She still had ambitions, and the drive to work toward those goals, which sometimes meant neglecting her duties as a Senshi.
When the bat attacked, she didn’t have much of a choice.
She’d been walking home from the rink with Peter when it came streaking out of the dark, diving at them almost silently before shrieking when they dared to defend themselves. They powered up because it was massive, not necessarily because they wanted to harm it. Perdita rather thought they could learn a lot about Destiny City’s odd holiday circumstances if they did some capture, study, and release.
The problem was catching it while avoiding injury. One of its claws caught her shoulder and immediately broke the skin, sending blood dripping down her arm. Perdita put her hand to it to stem the flow of blood. Beneath her palm, the wound itched like a bug bite.
“Careful,” she warned Oberon. “I think it’s claws might be coated in something. Maybe a toxin it secretes.”
