Agreed, but there's so much Gloranthan flavour in there that it would be shame to lose it. Drop the stats and you're down to something manageable quite fast (as with most RQ material!)

I think the Bat has been "done" for HW/HQ, hasn't it? "Moonrites", IIRC. The Whitewall list took a long look, and even given access to the greatest Orlanthi heroes around, had a very hard time sorting out how to defeat it. Do not use this thing as a random Wandering Monster!
