Bats

Bats are a popular hunter pet in WoW because of their fierce visage, their high damage output, and their ability to learn the skills Dive and Screech. In this way they are very similar to owls. Bats can be a little fussy in their diet, however, and some hunters find that their broad wings can get in the way of targeting.
