Nightwing

Sorry, Batstarion, you're not the only cute bat in the heart of Tawa/Durj anymore!

Bloerg in the colony of Mykonides came across an unusual stump during his studies of local Anderdark species. The stump vibrates strangely, but if you're curious enough, Blurg will part with it for a fair amount of gold.

Inside the stump you will find a small bat (object). Smooth your bat and you will summon a new, charming friend.

Meet Nightwing, a quirky little guy who will grow up traveling on adventures with your band.

Nightwing has 4 stages:

Baby, if the level of Tav is from 3 to 5.

Small, for 6-7 levels.

Medium size, for levels 8-9.

Adult, for 10+.

Every time he grows up, not only does his characteristics increase and he gains new skills, but he also changes in size and his skin begins to develop according to a pattern.

He starts off as a small, cheeky, all-black kid who can only bite and can't even fly normally (that's because when he's very small, the edges of his wings a little 😛 collide with each other, I have no idea how to edit the animation, but I'm very amused, so I left him so 😂 he learned. Okay?), and slowly develops wing spots and new skills until it becomes a majestic, beautifully designed adult bat.

Nightwing was inspired by the information I found about the Night Hunter bats on dnd wiki. I tried to make it fit the description at least, but with space for fantasy. For example, he has Dark Vision and Blindness.

That's nice and all! But Nightwing is a very capricious little friend, and like real pets, he needs to be fed, or he'll become grumpy.

When grumpy, he emits an alarming echolocation that confuses the party’s brainwaves, causing a stunned state and little damage.

It lasts enough to be acceptable to players for 300 moves. He won't stop unless he's killed, fired or fed.

Night-tail loves delicious, plump frogs. For starters, you'll find one serving of his favorite food inside the stump.

To feed him, it is enough to take a frog and leave it to her. (It's literally the only way you have to drop it like a puppy snack.) Don't eat a frog, it doesn't act on humanoids. It's just for him.

Once he eats, he will eat well many more moves. Happy Pet is a happy host and your group will get a few bonuses for saving throws!

(edit - all passive effect can now be turned on/off)You

should be able to buy these frogs from many sellers throughout the game in stacks of 5 pieces, i put them a little randomly, but most large ones will have them, and also added them to some stores of supplies or food.

The stump will automatically collect your frogs and also automatically collect a version of Nightwing's item if you move it - it likes to hide there.

Perhaps in the future I will make the stump suitable for carrying as a tool, such as pets or children's backpacks, or as they are called there. At the moment, it is just a bag that you can carry with you. It has zero weight but only Nightwing and frogs can enter inside.

Finally, for fun or camp decor, you can place on the ground both a stump and a bat that calls for Nightwing, folding one on top of the other, and it will look as if he's hovering over his nest. I didn't do it on purpose, but I found out by chance 😂 (see images)

I think that's it! I hope you enjoy playing with this little needy pet and learning about its skills and changes during the joint adventures! 😘 Treat him well!
