Read the native kind description at inspection

Small rounded bat with rust-copper fur, blue translucent wing membranes, large soft ears and delicate thumb hooks. A small copper-furred bat hangs by both feet from a shelf, wings folded around its body. Blue membrane shows at the edges and both soft ears remain visible. A single click becomes a room-reading figure, then an open arc of short responses. This seed form represents one shelf click. Sound design: Short high wooden calls. Native use and wake write its own small state. Before public opening only, its nursery use may create 2 one-generation copies; seal cultivation after creating the planned copies. No native audio or automatic image animation.
