Despite its (relatively) small size, the saber-toothed bat fulfills the promise of its threatening name. The body of this bat is about the size of a small dog, but its 5-foot wingspan makes it look much larger. It’s a vicious carnivore that hunts and kills just about anything, including other bats.

Camouflage. The saber-toothed bat has advantage on Stealth checks in caves.
Flyby. The saber-toothed bat doesn’t provoke an opportunity attack when it flies out of an enemy’s reach.
Keen Hearing. The saber-toothed bat has advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing, and it can’t be surprised while in a cave.
Pounce. If the saber-toothed bat flies at least 20 feet straight toward a creature and then hits it with its claw attack on the same turn, that creature must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. If the target is prone, the bat can make one bite attack against it as a bonus action.
