I thought up a pretty good concept for a Werebat and having seen it used in the module I wondered if it might be desireable to have it included in the possible application oppertunities. I had a little look around on the interweb and the general EFU lycans to balance such a creature for the EFU:M setting and came up with the following:
Werebat
Often drawn to darkness, these bloodthirsty creatures choose their prey carefully, avoiding all manner of light where possible. Their uncontrollable thirst for blood is the driving force of their existence, an overwhelming base instinct all of their kind possesses. In humanoid form these beasts often appear with dark beady eyes, sharp teeth and are generally considered shy and elusive.
Ability Adjustment: +2 will, +4 reflex, +3 fort, +7 listen, -5 spot , +4 hide, +4 Move Silently// +4 dex +6 con ((ELC+3))
Bonus skills:
Blood suck
The werebeast feasts on your flesh afflicting you with the curse of the werebat, you take on similar aspects of the creature and feel yourself overcome with a hunger for flesh and fresh blood.
- Inflict Lycanthropy (werebat) on target, gain temporary +2 con.
Sonar
The werebat has poor vision but has the supernatural ability to detect its prey through the use of sonar, emitting a high frequency sound inaudible to the common ear; revealing those nearby.
- 3/day Amplify
Flight
Using its broad/strong wings the creature is able to fly short distances, often to escape from larger prey or to ambush an unwary victim from above.
- Fly ability (Short distance, Must be out of combat)
Bonus Feats: Skill Focus: Listen, Toughness, Weapon proficiency
(Creature), Light Sensitivity //Damage Reduction 10/+1
Feats Removed: None
Favoured Alignment: Neutral Evil
Favoured Class: Rogue
Personally would love to see it included in the module (So much cooler then the other lycans) even if it is for my own selfish reasons but I bet some others would love a chance to play one.
Their template is nearly identical to the were-rat.
Bats are only winged rats after all.
I don't like the ability to infect other PCs, but everything else sounds good to me. Makes it the ideal race for a badass villian.

I think all werecreatures basically can do this anyway.
Pretty sure you can app for stuff like this anyway as a one off, it's just that there are a number of standard application subraces, I think 4 lycanthrope races is fine and if anything there could perhaps be more good inclined subraces as opposed to another evil one.
asked mort about werelions a while ago, he said the lycans we have is enough
