Big Black Pterobat

Illustrated portrait of the Big Black Bat from the award winning musical adventure book, Lost on Infinity.

The Pterobat is a strong and fast flyer, if a bit miserable. However, back on earth the creature’s unreliable echo location was its downfall. Like the first versions of many new inventions, it simply didn’t work!
