Milliner-Bats are quite average as far as bats go - except that they're covered in sky-blue feathers, applied with glue of all things, making them similar in appearance to Blue Prophets.[2] Their swarms are just as dangerous as Blue Prophet flocks, however, and the bats seem to be localized to the Southern Wall near Varchas.[3] But how did these bats get their feathers?
