==Storyline== ===Bloomburrow=== On [[Bloomburrow (plane)|Bloomburrow]], bats form a religious group. It's currently unknown if other races of the plane follow the bats' religion too. ===Innistrad=== On [[Innistrad (plane)|Innistrad]] <c title="vampires">Stalking Vampire</c> can change into <c title="bats">Screeching Bat</c> which have such clarity of hearing that simple sounds become symphonies. [[Stensia]] is pestered by undead <c>Marrow Bats</c>. ===Ixalan=== On [[Ixalan (plane)|Ixalan]] the bat god [[Aclazotz]] is the enemy of the [[Threefold Sun|sun god]] and ruler of the night. Local [[imp]]s and [[demon]]s are rather bat-like (and, at least in the case of the former, they are bat-imp hybrids). The [[Oltecs]] living in [[Ixalan's Core]] fly on giant bats.<ref name="Preview Barca">{{YouTubeRef|Y5YsggzwCxI|The Preview Panel at MagicCon: Barcelona|channel=[[Magic: The Gathering]]|date=July 28, 2023}}</ref> Uniquely, some Ixalan bats are [[white]]-aligned (i.e. <c>Ruin-Lurker Bat</c>). ===Mirrodin=== <c>Grimclaw Bats</c> patrolled the [[Mephidross]]. Once [[New Phyrexia (plane)|Mirrodin became Phyrexia]], <c title="they were compleated">Dementia Bat</c>. ===Ravnican=== Bats in [[Ravnica]] are primarily associated with the [[Orzhov Syndicate]]. Unlike other bats, which are primarily black, these bats, especially the <c>Blind Hunter</c>s, are mostly equally [[white|white mana]] as well.<ref>{{DailyRef|arcana/sketches-blind-hunter-2006-03-30|Sketches: Blind Hunter|[[Magic Arcana]]|March 30, 2006}}</ref> They are used as assassins and messengers. Giant bats are also used as mounts by the [[Golgari Swarm]], particularly by the guild's hunters. In the [[Return to Ravnica block]], and especially ''[[Gatecrash]]'', the [[Dimir]] seem to have acquired bat-motifs, such as in the architecture <ref>{{DailyRef|planeswalkers-guide-gatecrash-part-1-2012-12-05|Planeswalker's Guide to Gatecrash: Part 1|The Magic Creative Team|December 05, 2012}}</ref> and the design of their [[Horror]]s. However, the <c>Basilica Screecher</c> is still attached to the [[Orzhov]] guild. ===Ulgrotha=== <c>Sengir Bats</c> accompany the infamous [[Baron Sengir]], the [[vampire]] [[lord]] who rules the [[Dark Barony]] from [[Castle Sengir]]. ===Vampire bats=== The classical <c>Vampire Bats</c> are titanic flying creatures that may be used as steeds, for example by <c>Kulrath Knight</c>s. They occur in [[Dominaria (plane)|Dominaria]] and [[Shadowmoor]], as well as in a few other planes.
