Milkbats

In the vast, shadowy caverns of the Red Rising Saga, Milkbats emerge in Dark Age as a terrifying natural hazard, their massive colonies clinging to cavern ceilings by the millions. These grotesque creatures wield paralyzing spines on their inner wings to immobilize prey, feasting insidiously on the bone marrow of the helpless. Though their role is confined to this single installment, they vividly underscore the brutal, unforgiving wilderness lurking beneath Mercury's icy surface, amplifying the saga's theme of survival against primal horrors.
