This is the largest bat in continental Africa, with wingspans approaching 1 m, or about 3 ft, and males almost twice as heavy as females.
Males and females also greatly differ in appearance, making it the most sexually dimorphic bat species in the world. This differences include several adaptations that help males produce and amplify vocalizations: the males’ larynges (vocal cords) are about three times as large as those of females, and they have large resonating chambers on their faces. Females appear more like a typical megabat, with foxlike faces.
Males have massive resonating chambers on their faces to amplify vocalizations (indicated by dashed line)
A sigil to radically amplify the power and impact of one’s magical workings
I’m mostly sharing this sigil commission from forever ago because I love how it looks. It’s designed, by request, to work only for the client it was made for. That’s probably a good thing, though, because I’m honestly not sure I’d want anyone and everyone to be able to use this.
Sigil commissions are currently $25 each, click the commission link in my bio to order :)
