Gene Change: Bat Wings Allow Sitting on Stinky Fruit Tree

[Trinket]

Bat Winged nichlings can fly on top of stinky fruit trees (and maybe cacti) and collect fruit from the Stinky Trees. Not sure how it would look if they did that, but for fruit eating bats that's usually how they get the fruit. I'd say maybe even let them hop on top of berry bushes to collect the fruit, but the bushes are so small and these bats are not that tiny.

i like this idea, since the bat wing and regular wings are basically the same thing. add some differences to them!

bats can swoop down and catch terrestrial prey IRL though

I don't know, so I'm asking. I guess it depends on the kind of bat, but they look somewhat weak.

apparently the spectral bat can catch prey like an owl, but if these bat wings are like fruit bats,  then I think they won't be able to swoop efficiently
