	Fusing the primal thirst of the ravenous bat and the unique abilities of individual humanoids, the werebat is a hybrid creature constituting both bloodlust and cunning. As opposed to vampires, who share some similar abilities with werebats and are often confused with them, these lycanthropic beings are often more savage in their behavior and far less calculating than the shapeshifting undead. As though to prove a point, some werebats go out of their way to take down powerful vampire lords and commandeer the vampires’ higher position—though many also become slaves to such undead after underestimating their prowess.

If you go way back into mythology, [[werewolves]] and [[vampire]]s were often connected. So, of course [[Dungeons & Dragons]] decided to exploit this by creating a creature with traits of both: enter the '''Werebat''', a [[therianthrope]] with a taste for blood and the ability to become a giant bat!

	Werebats originated in the [[Demiplane of Dread]], because [[Ravenloft]] is crawling with so many [[vampire]]s and [[therianthrope]]s that it needed a creature that combined traits of the two. They originated in the adventure "The Baron's Eyrie" in [[Dungeon Magazine]] #58, before making their way into official stats in the Ravenloft Monstrous Compendium Appendix I, and from there to the Monstrous Manual in Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. They also got a werebat [[Darklord]] named Captain Monette in the [[splatbook]] simply titled "Darklords". Strangely, in [[Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition]], in a spectacular display of an editing cock-up, though the Werebat's ability score adjustments and bonus feats would be listed in the Ravenloft [[Monster Manual]] equivalent, "Denizens of Darkness", the actual monster ~~statblock~~ would be completely missing! And even worse, they'd carry this same error over to "Denizens of Dread", the 3.5 updated version of the manual!

	[[Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition]] also saw the reveal that werebats can be found in the [[Forgotten Realms]], with the [[splatbook]] "Monsters of Faerun" providing stats for them. This would lead to the creature returning in [[Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition]] in the adventure "Waterdeep: Dungeon of the [[Halaster Blackcloak\|Mad Mage]].
