'''Wings-of-Thunder batlings''' are young, extremely large bat-like creatures that originate from the [[Elder Continent]].<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Sit_down_and_wait_for_the_Bishop_to_speak|Sit down and wait for the Bishop to speak|Fallen London|}}</ref> Their size when fully grown is unknown, but even these youngsters are often large enough to carry humans comfortably on their backs,<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/The_Season_of_Animals|The Season of Animals|Fallen London|}} ''"It flies low [...] knocking you onto its back."''</ref> and due to their size, these batlings' wings emit loud, booming sounds when in flight, giving them their unique name.<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/The_Rat-Catcher_(Story)|The Rat-Catcher (Story)|Fallen London|}} ''"Its wings are the thunder [...]"''</ref> These batlings are also omnivorous, and can eat just about anything, including articles of clothing and other oddities.<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Attend_a_service_at_St_Swithun%27s|Attend a service at St Swithun's|Fallen London|}}</ref>

Wings-of-Thunder batlings customarily migrate from the Elder Continent during their youth, and travel far and wide to find an artifact or secret to offer to their kind back home. These creatures may encounter many roadblocks during the course of their quests, but they're long-lived animals, and are allowed to return to the Continent upon the completion of their task.<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/The_Season_of_Animals|The Season of Animals|Fallen London|}} ''"[...] customary for Wings-of-Thunder batlings to migrate from the Elder Continent in their youth. They hunt [...] only return if they [...] learned or acquired something [...] to offer their brood. Many fail – they are long-lived creatures [...] can tolerate losses."''</ref>
