Complications:
Disabled (Animal)- Bats cannot speak to humans, nor use their paws to easily manipulate objects.
Reputation (Pest)- Bats are notoriously prone to disease (living in mass groups), and are often exterminated wherever they are seen in the civilized world. Many people are naturally frightened of them just by their appearance- they don't even have to do anything.
Weakness (Small Size)- At their natural size, Bats are vulnerable to large creatures- even without good accuracy. Anything of Size Rank -2 or more (human size and up) using a melee attack on a Bat effectively strike with Burst Area Damage at their strength rank naturally.

-The bizarre Applins are semi-common in the forests of Castellia, but harbor a secret known to only a handful of people- if the tiny, wormlike creatures consume enough of certain kinds of material, they can grow into powerful Drakes! When consuming mostly tart fruits, they will transform into Fruit Drakes, and sweet fruits will transform them into Solar Drakes. This metamorphic process takes years to occur, and is fairly rare, as the vulnerable creatures are often killed before that point. Shaped like worms, they are elementally-aligned to forests themselves, and will crawl into an apple or other large fruit and hide within it for days until consuming it. Finally, after possibly years of this, the animal will cocoon itself up in a massive shell, finally erupting in a new, more Draconic form.
-Fruit Drakes greatly resemble Linnorms- the most ancient of Dragonkind. They have short, slender arms and no legs, maintaining a serpentine frame. They often appear to have portions of the fruits they consume as armor on their bodies, particularly reflective, chitinous red armor resembling an apple's skin. Unlike many Drakes, they can fly, and the acids they've consumed up until adulthood allow the new creature to naturally-generate a dangerous Acidic Spray.
-Solar Drakes are almost comical-looking- rotund, belly-sliding creatures reminiscent of baked goods. But their bodies are incredible receptables of solar energy, allowing them great powers, including solar blasts and the "Giga Drain" ability. It gives off a tremendous nectar-like scent, luring in animals upon which it feeds, including bats, insects both large and tiny, and certain herbivores.
Jab's Notes: Well this IS a unique one! Applin seems based off of certain kinds of caterpillar (like the Codling Moth's), which will crawl inside an apple and eat it from the inside out. It's also a Pokemon with two different kinds of evolutions, based off of the fruits you give it. The base form is pretty weak and defenseless, like a lot of Bug-Types, but it's actually Grass/Dragon, and so many be equal parts Linnorm, and the notion of Serpent + Apple may be a Biblical reference, as well. It has a "Gigantamax" option, which I guess is like the Mega-Evolutions of previous generationes. Flapple is a speedy one and Appletun is heavier-duty, so they have slightly different focuses and a few different sorts of powers.
-For stats, I made the "Appletun" one slower and fatter, but more durable. The Flapple one is faster.
