(alt spellings: Eee, Ee, E) The Eeee (also known as Bats, Batbats, Flappers, and (squeak) ) are plantigrade, bat-like humanoids with short bodyfur, large ears, head hair, human-like eyes, and a pair of wings sprouting from behind the shoulders. The Eeee are noted for their exceptional hearing, able to navigate in total darkness by a sort of "sonar", hearing the echo of their own voices off of objects. However, they are also very fragile and often weak as far as most races of their size go, so they are not generally very impressive in hand-to-hand combat. Most Eeee consider the Ashdod Territories -- especially the city-state of Babel -- to be their homeland. However, a sub-strain of vampiric Eeee (often bearing mutations, such as glowing red eyes) can be found in the Nordikan region of Sylvania. While most Eeee are omnivorous (having a diet high in bugs and fruits), the vampiric Eeee subsist off of blood ... and are often looked upon with disdain by their non-vampiric Eeee "cousins". There is also a distinct sub-strain of "fruit bat" Eeee in the now independent state of Saskanar (formerly part of the Ashdod Territories). There is a very common mutation in these parts of Eeee that do not possess separate wings, but have forearms/wings fused together.
"Eeee" also refers to a language widely used by the race of the same name, particularly in Ashdod. (Sylvanian Eeee tend to speak Sylvanian instead.) This language, while it can be pronounced at a rudimentary level by other races, utilizes tones that are outside of the hearing range of many other species (and their ability to emulate). The end result is that non-Eeee trying to speak Eeee sound roughly as if they're lisping, and non-Eeee can't fully appreciate the intricacies of Eeee poetry and song. Note: The "Babelite Alphabet" shown above is listed as a GM's tool and reference. While the "real" Babelite language would be quite unlike English, for the sake of simplicity (and so the GM and PCs don't have to learn a new, fictitious language), the above "language" -- used in some illustrations -- is nothing more than a letter-substitution code. |
