The Harvest Bat

The Harvest Bat has a diet as diverse as its color palette, feasting on as large a range of fruits as they can get their claws on. Harvest bats don’t just eat fruits, either, but have also been seen feasting upon various roots and vegetables. In fact, harvest bats got their name from the harvest season, and any crop that gets harvested during this time is one that you might find a curious harvest bat feeding on.

Harvest bats range in size as well, but they’re notable for being a fairly large species on average with most adults reaching the size of the largest flying foxes - and sometimes even larger! While their large size might be off-putting to some, the harvest bat is extremely friendly. It doesn’t take much of an offering to get a harvest bat to perch on your arm while it munches on whatever fruit you’ve given it (and it won't mind some pets, either).

Another reason that the harvest bats are named as such is due to the fact that they’re only seen in the open during the harvest season. This isn’t to say that the bats are unseen throughout the rest of the year, but they’re much more seclusive. Outside of the harvest season, these bats retreat to large cave systems where they spend most of their time. It is believed that the bats switch to a more insectivorous diet during this time, and the harvest season is a time for the bats to stock up on energy for the year. Studies on this behavior are limited as the bats are hard to track once they retreat for the year.

I just went on a huge nostalgia kick, specifically for DeviantArt RP Groups I use to be apart of (and these arn't even all of them but were the major ones >v>;;). But I loved just being apart of the communities and a part of me misses having that sort of world building/relationship OC buildling fun that DA RP Groups gave you. I just wanted to redraw my old girls c: still have a soft spot for em <3 and see how far I've come art wise!! In order we have: * Harvest Pokemoon // Josey Sawsbuck * Blackblood Academy (use to be Halloween Academy) // Frina Frankienstein * Kitty Katty City // Ginger the Nurse * DA-ville // Ditzy the Bat * Ardeos Bane // Allura the Unicorn Medic

i do think there is a place for ai/automated image generation but that place is exclusively a dataset composed entirely of creative commons photographs (the ones that give you permission to edit them) and a generator hosted on a shitty geocities website paid for by absolutely massive banner ads. the resulting images are bound by the same creative commons license as the original dataset and also should be potato quality just so no one gets any big ideas

The Harvest Bat

Fun Fact! - There is a harvest bat variant that is colossal, even compared to the rest of the already large bat species. The Pumpkin Harvest Bat is one of those creatures of legend, regarded by most as a fun Halloween story and nothing more. The story is thought to have originated from parents as a warning not to leave their carved jack-o-lanterns out for too long (lest the pumpkin bat snatches it away, and might just snatch you up too!). And, according to the sightings, this variant bat is certainly large enough to pick a child up off its feet, albeit not for very long.

Despite the fact that this pumpkin bat hasn’t been officially recorded, there are those who swear to its existence. Amidst the most staunch believers are pumpkin farmers themselves. The small group of pumpkin farmers in the area recount tales of leaving fully grown pumpkins out in the woods, a mimicry of the practices used by farmers of much smaller fruits. Just like the offerings of other orchards and gardens, these offerings would disappear overnight. With the disappearance of these pumpkins would come the largest, healthiest pumpkins these farmers had seen in their careers. Even pumpkin farmers who don’t follow this practice have found entire pumpkins missing from their patch, not a footprint or trail in sight as if it had been plucked from the skies.

Despite their belief, even pumpkin farmers haven’t seen the elusive pumpkin harvest bat, only seeing brief glimpses of purple and orange. True or not, the farmers figure that it does little harm to let go of a few pumpkins per harvest to feed what may well be a superstition.

The magic of harvest bats and colossal pumpkin bats is an innocent magic to believe in. Much more innocent than the tales of bats who hunger for something a little more sinister than fruits, that’s for sure.

Realized I can design my own critters and add suspicious lore because I can.

Not used to draw stuff like this quite yet but it’s fun !

an admitted downside of slime rancher is that sometimes you accidentally inhale one of the little bastards and you have to shoot them out of your goofy vaccuum gun and usually slam them into a wall in the process and it makes me feel bad every time

nobody:

nada:

zilch:

me: Simulation!Stirk sounds like IRL!Stirk, but his fixation on Simulation!Bruce doesn't manifest in the behavior of IRL!Stirk. Since IRL!Bruce was investigating the Harvester murders as Batman, one would think that fixation should be on display towards the vigilante persona that's slowly catching up with him. Yet there is no textual interest on IRL!Stirk's side beyond the kidnapping which Strange -- or, rather, Ivy -- requested. All of this evidence -- or, the lack thereof -- points to IRL!Bruce himself casting Simulation!Bruce as Simulation!Stirk's mancrush.
