Daybats are the most common small flying predator in much of the Drylands, and the brighter parts of the Twilight zone, feeding primarily on small insects and invertebrates. Daybats are small winged creatures around the size of a clenched Keldian fist, with tawny fur over most of their bodies. A Daybat has four short clawed feet and a pair of leathery wings (all of a Daybat's exposed skin is actually covered in very fine scales). Daybats have sensitive noses and large dark eyes, giving them excellent senses (Observation 16). They are extremely quick and agile flyers, able to snatch insects out of the air. On the ground they are a little less graceful (-2A/-4D), but can still scramble effectively, and do so to chase or eat larger prey. When not hunting Daybats prefer to roost in groups in rocky cracks or under overhanging stones. Daybats bear live young, the pups being carried clinging to the adult's fur for some cycles after birth until old enough to fly by themselves.

Although the majority of Daybats have tawny or ochre fur in some areas they have reddish or purple fur, often with black or white markings. Daybats are thought by Sages to be relatives of Night Bats.
