    I think I'm the only one with Bat Pony OCs on this site. There might be more, but I can't think of any.

    Bat Ponies have always interested me as well.

    Unfortunately, I have not created a Bat Pony OC. It's kind of hard to create one of those. For me at least.

    :sigh:

    Apologies, I thought that when I hit 'reply' it did a special notice. I'm used to another forum where if you reply to someone it gives them a special message. Anyways, yes you!

    Personally I have no Bat Pony Original Characters, but I do like them.

    I didn't realize bat ponies were so rare, I was under the impression that people were totally obsessed with them lol

    I thought they were fairly popular too, until I realized that I'd never seen another Bat OC on this site.

    For me, it's hard to create one that isn't a little... grimdark in a way. At least in terms of what it is that they eat.

    I might be confusing them for vampire ponies though. What do bat ponies eat anyway? Regular food like all the other ponies? That's really my main struggle with them...

    :sigh:

    There's quite a bit of fanon about Bat Ponies, some of it contradictory.

    -Bat Ponies are a separate race. (Some AU continuities have them as Dragon/Pony hybrids, most notably the Ask Pun Tumblr comic.)
    -Bat ponies are generally depicted as living in mountain caves (semi-canon), or in the village of Hollow Shades.
    -Bat Ponies can see in the dark. Additionally, some of them have the ability to use echolocation.
    -Bat Ponies are generally loyal to Princess Luna, and often join the Night Guard.
    -Bat Ponies love fruit, especially mangoes.
    -They are generally depicted with fangs.
    -They are always depicted with tufted ears and catlike pupils.

    It should be noted that Flutterbat was not a true Bat Pony, but rather a Pegasus/Vampire Fruit Bat hybrid. The only true Bat Ponies shown so far were the pair of guards pulling Luna's chariot in Luna Eclipsed.

    Alright. I'll... see what I can do.

    I'll post it here and see what you guys think since I still don't feel very confident when it comes to creating a Bat Pony OC.

    Don't worry, it won't be as "text-heavy" as my other OC's. :derpe: Those ones are only like that because I use them on another MLP:FiM forum that wants more specifics when it comes to characters.

    I'll post it on here and in my OC thread whenever I get around to creating it...

    :derpe:

    I always pull my OC's out of thin-air as I need them, yet I find I have never made a bat-pony... in my proper memory at least.

    I wonder why that is... I have 2 deer. At least 1 gryphon. I have a spider god for putter's sake. No bats.

    Huh.
