Ice Bat

"Remember the time the tops of all those Ko-Metru Knowledge Towers were being shattered? You were sure the Kanohi Dragon was back. Turned out to be Ice Bats with attitude."

- Toa Mangai Nidhiki to Lhikan, Birth of a Dark Hunter

Ice Bats are nasty bat Rahi.

History
The Ice Bat species was created by the Makuta using Viruses and Liquid Protodermis to be one of the Rahi to inhabit the Matoran Universe.

On Metru Nui, Ice Bats made their home in the Knowledge Towers of Ko-Metru. They made navigating the Metru by air a hazard, and for that reason most Airships used alternate routes.

The Onu-Matoran Archivist Whenua was at a meeting in the Archives when a huge flock of Ice Bats escaped from their Stasis Tubes and infested the administrative offices, resulting in an extremely difficult capture effort.

After the Visorak hordes devastated Metru Nui, there was only a small flock left of the bats. Kualus called upon that flock during a battle against some late Visorak to distract the spiders. The trick worked, with the Rahaga gaining the advantage and defeating the group soon after.

Abilities & Traits
Ice Bats are not overly dangerous to the Matoran. Their habit of flying into observatories and smashing everything on their way out that has contributed to their reputation as pests. They are a delicacy for the Crystal Climber.
