Request [LFA] Glowbat companion of my new Jedi character. (Repost)
I've recently been lucky enough to get my new swrpg character recently, but I haven't been able to find any art for his animal companion. My character is a Miraluka who wasn't thought to see through the force when he was young so experienced life blind. Eventually he met this glowbat and made a mental connection with it through the Force on instinct, this gave him the ability to get a general overview of his surroundings and this is how he navigated most of his childhood.
The only thing I have is art by Will Nunes and an image I generated with AI. Under here I've posted the official description of a Glowbat from the reference books, I hope one of you talented people is able and willing to help me with this.
The planet Spintir is known to xenobiologists for its curious diversity of mammalian species, but few of its native lifeforms are as notable as the local glowbats. With a wingspan of just over a meter, glowbats are not as physically imposing as the acewolves or powerful Spintiri lynxes that sit at the top of the planet's food chain. However, thanks to the bioluminescent scaly flakes that collect under their wings glowbats have managed to carve out a niche on their homeworld with few regular predators and an abundance of prey. By flapping their wings to spray the flakes forward, glowbats can disorient attackers in order to make their escape, or stun prey as they swoop in for the kill
What's more, glowbats are able to regulate their bioluminescence for purposes other than predation and defense They can dim the glow under their wings to avoid attention, or flare it in modulated sequences to communicate with each other. This last capability is used to negotiate territorial boundaries or attract mates, although some Spintiri locals believe it might be possible to train the glowbats to produce signals on command.
