===Encyclopedia entry===

{{encyclopedia|	In 1927, zoologist Ernst Bartels was in his home near the 
	Tjidjenkol River in Java when he heard a strange cry louder than 
	the other night sounds, a cry like "a-hool."
	Bartels heard the sound twice more before the origin of the cries 
	moved off into the night. Bartels soon remembered a local legend 
	of the ahool or athol, a type of huge bat reputed to live in 
	the area.

	Locals described the bat as the size of a small child, with 
	an 11-12 foot wingspan. The athol was supposedly covered in 
	grayish fur and had a face similar to that of a monkey or a man. 
	At times, it was seen sitting on the forest floor, with its wings 
	folded beside it; it was also reputed to have feet which pointed
	backwards. During the day (like all bats, it was nocturnal), the 
	athol's refuge was supposedly a cave somewhere near a waterfall, 
	although at night it would fly over the river's surface in
	search of fish.

A '''mobat''' can shriek in the same manner as a [[shrieker]].  However, the chance of summoning a [[purple worm]] has been removed.  It is otherwise an annoying but minor threat by the time you encounter it.
