The Sandbat, native to Tatooine, is also known as the dragonbat. They often hunt in packs, but can also find sustenance in carrion. Their venom is deadly to humans and extremely painful.
Features
Venomous
Sandbat is wild by nature, but has had its behavior modified to accept the presence of humanoids by an intervention. It is trained against its wild instincts to accept humanoids. As creature handling goes up, a member can better empathize, train, and manage this creature's behavior. Untrained (+0), this creature will do whatever it wants and one would be helpless to understand why, with its natural disposition taking over. As creature handling skills improve, a member can understand, care for, and better influence this creature with full control achieved with mastery (+5) of creature handling.
Lethal: Sandbat possesses a highly toxic venom that inflicts excruciating pain before eventually killing its target.
Sandbat has typical coloring and physical appearance for a Sandbat.
Sandbat, regardless of their size, likes to find odd places to sit, lay down, or rest—places that often are more often than not too small or the wrong shape. Nevertheless, Sandbat persists and can often be found lounging in a shipping crate rather than the actual item that came in the aforementioned crate.
Sandbat is smaller than the average Sandbat in terms of size or body mass. Their compact build can offer better mobility and agility but often at the expense of the power commonly associated with other Sandbat.
