Shargash skinned the Not-Black Bat turning it into the Scarlet Bat. Arkat defeated the Scarlet Bat and sent it to hell (or the Bat Cave). The Red Goddess found the Bat and illuminated it, making it the Crimson Bat. The Star Bears is a different part of the Red Goddess cycle (she rides one at an earlier stage).
