Goblin Bat Rider

Goblin Bat Riders are goblins whom have managed to commune themselves with the massive bats of the Whispy Woods and ride them into battle.

Overview
It is commonly known that the bats of the Whispy Woods are large and non too friendly. The roost within caves or dark forests, typically alongside goblins, where they are often eaten for food or kept as pets. However, most of these giant bats have been known to grow large enough to serve as mounts for many goblin tribes, whom are also expected to capture a giant bat and hand-rear them into submission.

These cunning hunters are often employed exclusively as skirmishers or light cavalry. They have been known to outmaneuver into dense terrain where they lure their enemy into an ambush. Some of these Bat Riders fulfil their roles as archer or skirmisher cavalry, where they are either equipped with crude bows or javelins to throw at their enemy from a relatively safe distance before retreating back.

Others have been known to be equipped with simple swords and wooden shields, and are usually the aggressive ones who are seen screaming maniacally straight towards the enemy as they try to attack with a combination of crude spear and sharp fangs. These riders have also been known to work to great effects during sieges, where the Bat Riders' adept ability to fly across vast distances allows it to make surprise attack at enemy fortifications, plucking defenders from the ramparts and storming through even the smallest openings with relative ease.
