A venomous clawed bat. Olitiaus live in tree-top colonies near rivers. They hunt at night by biting their preys and waiting for their venom to take effect. A small carnivorous beast.

It can hear very well, allowing it to easily spot their preys in the dark, even invisible ones.
Attacks (1/round)
Deadly Rake. The olitiau makes a melee attack (1 dmg), on a hit the target must save vs poison or start dying.
Tame It
If you have captured this beast, you can spend the equivalent of 1 bag of gold in food between two adventures to tame it. It is now one of your followers. Each extra bag of gold spent training the beast teaches it a one-word order. Otherwise, it only acts to eat or in self-defence.
Hunt It
Olitiaus are cute enough to be pets, but the most valuable part of their body is their venom.
If you have access to an artisan and a workshop, you can spend loot between two adventures to create something with parts of the beast. The object you craft can be anything mostly made of the provided materials. It will have the value of what you invest in it. Discuss what you want with the referee.
