[[Image:|right|300px|thumb|Not to be confused with Shriekbats.]] Shrikebats are large, purple, flying, vaguely reptilian creatures. Found on <a href="http://tfwiki.net/w2/index.php?title=Dromedon&action=edit" class="new" title="Dromedon">Dromedon</a> and <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Dread" title="Dread">Dread</a>, a group of them is referred to as a "wreck" of shrikebats, or, more commonly "aiiiiiieee get them off get them off my eyes oh dear gooaaaarrrrrghkklgkglllll".

They're extremely vicious creatures. Thankfully, they don't like it when you invert polarities, which drives them off.
