This race of people is a mixbreed of a human and a giant bat. The offspring turn out to be humans with batlike wings, black hair, bat fangs, batlike echolocation, and claws of nails. Pretty creepy
Tell me what you think, I would appreciate it.

Hmmm, that would be interesting. Bats and humans.
I'll throw a couple of names out, but I'm not usually very good at making names:
Avuhl
Kyavin
Gaethin
Mauranane
Ciar
Hope it helps.
Some are of my own making, others actually mean something in other languages.

Lets go with Avuhl. I like it.

Glad I could help!

I have a creature almost exactly like that. But from you description mine's different from yours.

I really like the name Avuhl. Is that one that meant something, Griffin?

Actually I made that one up. It comes from a naming system I made to help me make names. In my system it would mean something like dark sky.

Kinda creepy Kenton D., but in a good, fantasy type of way. So do they favor people or bats? It sounds like they are very human in appearance; they just have the added wings and sensory type characteristics.

What causes this breed of Halfling race? Is it like a genetic defect, or is it the ‘you were bit by a vampire’ type of scenario? In other words, people bit by the bats that carry the gene cause a mutation to occur in the carrier (human) and the carrier has a batish child? Just curious, if that makes sense.

The Halfling race started from a giant bat having a child with a woman that it had kidnapped(weird and creepy). They favor humans and are friendly to most humans. The ones the Avuhls don't like, will often die mysteriously(muahahahaha).

Okay, that is really creepy, in like a disgusting kind of creepy way. You must have been a strange child. Don’t sweat it though, I was too, and I’m perfectly normal. I mean, I talk to myself, join Fantasy Forums that talk about Bat and Human’s procreating, and make fantasy names out of street signs. Nothing weird here.

Hey!!! Oh...YA...

Kinda freaky and creepy.

They have a clanlike culture where there is one "chief" and a council under him/her. For the thinking question, the Avuhl's inherit the human brain, therefore having the same brain capacity as humans.
