'''Spore bats''' are a sub-species of [[spore walker]]s and are indigenous to [[Zangarmarsh]] in [[Outland]]. Like the spore walkers, they turn spores into a deadly poison to hunt their prey. Unlike the Spore Walkers, they can fly. However, they are not as aggressive as Spore Walkers, as most of them are neutral towards players. They can be tamed by [[hunter]]s.
