I have always pictured it as one of those vampire bats that crawl around a lot licking the bleeding heels of goats and cows. I think the Crimson Bat also crawls around on the floor a fair bit; this is how I picture it feeding for the most part. Swooping and flapping about seem too energetic and exciting and I see the Bat Priests doing their best not to get it too excited. As an aside, this is also how I see that other gruesome bat/sloth god, Tsathhogua.
