Whilst many believe the famously lovable pet known as the Batty to be a domesticated form of their wild counterparts, its actually the other way round.
Originally bred from a bat-like species with rough scratchy fur that was harvested to make low quality rags, their fur rapidly became soft and woolly as if adapting to a more lovable form by instinct.
This fur became so soft and lovable that not just was it used as stuffing for children’s toys but the Batty found its way into homes as beloved pets. But that was only the beginning.
As such highly adaptable creatures they would rapidly evolve to fit their current climate, changing the consistency and texture of their fluffy manes. In attempts to create new brands of batty fur they were introduced to new environments, spreading at a rate that far exceeded expectations. It wasn’t long before they even began to populate harsher lands like toxic marshes and volcanos.
Oddly enough their rapidly expanding presence did not upset the local ecosystems, instead wild Batties find nutrition in algae and moss that oddly grows upon their own fluffy manes.
