Kadian Bat

Kadian bats have flat bodies with no neck, two large pectoral fins emerging from their torso, two hook like hind limbs and two small pelvic fins. It is speculated that the pelvic fins are used for echolocation and delicate maneuvers, while the hind limbs could be ideal for either grabbing large rocks at the lake's bottom or for easily springing out of it, or possibly even both.   The front limbs seem to have merged with the outer ear and the shoulder muscles forming the pectoral fins, highly resembling common bats; specimen have been found to have mammary glands, complex middle ear, prismatic enamel, and give birth to live young, leading to the speculation that they are in fact mammals. However, some of their anatomical structure differ from other mammals, such as a lack of non-mammary sweat glands; a unique jaw structure; the brain, inner ear, and mouth being located at the abdomen; a lack of eyes.   The abdomen, being the center of the nervous, digestive and immune systems, is protected by a layer of overlapping flat bones connected by a cartilaginous tissue, followed by a thick layer of skin which is covered by three to four interlacing layers of dermal denticles.

Lacking eyes, Kadian bats utilize echolocation in order to orientate themselves, using their pelvic fins to produce a series of high frequency waves and relying on their anomalously keen sense of hearing. Additionally, they can use both their pectoral and pelvic fins to emit a powerful shockwave for hunting prey. This shockwave can cause turbulence as far as 200 meters away from the bat, and proves to be deadly even to larger creatures.
It is currently believed that both their hearing and their ability to produce such powerful shockwaves are at least somewhat magical in nature.
