Batro

These creatures of the night have been giving people nightmares for many centuries. But the truth is, they are completely harmless to people and are beneficial to the ecosystem in many ways. Batro's don't deserve to be feared as they are. They deserve our respect. But this fear has led to them now being an endangered species, as people take drastic measures to rid themselves of this terror that is only a terror in their minds.
