Flavor Text

: It checks its surroundings and location using reflections of the ultrasonic waves from its mouth.
: It does not need eyes, because it emits ultrasonic waves to check its surroundings while it flies.

: Even though it has no eyes, it can sense obstacles using ultrasonic waves it emits from its mouth.
: It has no eyes. Instead, it relies on its ultrasonic cries for echolocation to flit about in darkness.
: Zubat remains quietly unmoving in a dark spot during the bright daylight hours. It does so because prolonged exposure to the sun causes its body to become slightly burned.
: Zubat avoids sunlight because exposure causes it to become unhealthy. During the daytime, it stays in caves or under the eaves of old houses, sleeping while hanging upside down.

: It sleeps in caves during the day. It has no eyes, so to check its surroundings while flying, it emits ultrasonic waves.
: When exposed to sunlight, they suffer burns. The frequency of their ultrasonic waves can differ slightly from colony to colony.
: It has no eyeballs, so it can’t see. It checks its surroundings via the ultrasonic waves it emits from its mouth.
: Their skin is so thin that they’ll be burned if sunlight hits them. When it gets cold out, they gather together to warm one another’s bodies.
