The Problems with Batmen...Fixing broken beastmen tables

There are two main strains of batmen. The common cave bat men and the more horrible vampire batmen. The former mostly hide from surfave people and are no longer the ancient brites they were. The later are religious worshiping their demon bat vampire queen and sacrificing prisoners on their blood ziggurats. I've accidentally done bats twice so re writing both entries to be more different.

So anyway
Cave Batmen are now the type on the common table and vampire batmen are the type on the subterranean beastmen tables. Will have to have them being more different in practice. Am writing 2 beastmen a day to get through the next Forest Beastmen table.

Cave Batmen
People don't realize how many millions of batmen dwell beneath the earth in huge colonies squirming up close. One day they will swarm up and eat everyone. Most batmen cannot fly but can climb and like to hang from ceilings and branches to sleep. Some do have wings but these tend to not use weapons. There are small batmen or batlings who ride giant bats. Such batlings fight goblin batriding tribes. There are also large flightless bats that walk on two legs with huge jaws and claws used as hunting dogs if small ones or mounts if large ones by the batfolk. Bats use any magic and never forgot many vile rituals and disgusting rites. 

They became one of the ruling monster races of the olden times for their savagery against the previous insect and worm races, the only mammals in the Monster Empire. At night they still surface but restrain themselves in fear man will destroy them They also creep into the sewers but keep away from contact with man till the time is right and they can blot out the sun forever and eat everybody, even their past allies. They often blind their captives and slaves. Hybrid batfolk cultists are rare and very secretive. 

Some degenerate batmen have lost contact with their race and are mere savages now. The flightless ones use climbing and leaping prowess and also make hair ropes for swinging and abseiling. The worship gods of darkness, night, the underworld and even insect and worm gods for food. Some batfolk are less evil and their are tribes happy eating bugs and farming them in caves. Their are black and grey and white furred batfolk in different tribes. The ghost bats are the rarest. Vampire batmen have their own entry. There are ginger fruit eating ones in jungle lands.

Sailors have found islands where every mammal niche has been filled by bats. Many bats also gain mutations from their cults or the people they eat or the strange glowing cave lights of underland. They are poor at communicating with humans and very alien. They do have eyes they just don't need or depend on them but are handy to read non engraved texts. They are impressive climbers and enjoy hanging upside down with their cohorts screeching madly.

Vampire Bat Men
Some batfolk of aristocratic bloodlines of the great vampire bat goddess are also blood drinkers, the most savage and evil of them all. Under the earth they build step pyramids where they perform bloody sacrifices to feed their goddess or she will devour the universe.
Hideous cave dwellers who mostly come out at night. Humans fear them because in ancient times thew were conquerors and part of the great monster empire. They also have links to vampirism with some tribes eating blood and worshiping the vampire bat goddess one of the great underground evils. Her pyramids are found in jungles and hidden places from when her cult murdered thousands to appease her lust. Some go the next step and become supernatural undead vampires and not just blood drinkers. Many worship and mate with demons also and can be found populating the abyss. Some are content eating bugs and some more harmless ones only eat fruit but they don't appear in non tropical areas. You may hear them screeching to spread terror but also for their echo location. Most batmen are now flightless with only some of the greater ones regaining the power of flight or at least gliding. The even have breeds of flightless bat creatures for hunting pets and beasts of burden.
