Spectral bats, known as their taxonomic name Vampyrum spectrum (capitalized Vampyrum Spectrum) in the Silverwing series, are a species of carnivorous leaf-nosed bat native to Central and South America. They are the largest species of bat in the Western Hemisphere as well as the largest carnivorous bat in the world.
In the Silverwing series[]
The Vampyrum spectrum are a species of bats known to reside deep in the southern jungles of South America. The most notable Vampyrum in the series are Goth and Throbb, two jungle bats who find themselves lost in the northern wilderness and accompany Shade and Marina on their travels in Silverwing. The Vampyrum spectrum seen in the Silverwing series idolize Cama Zotz as a holy figure, as opposed to the northern bats who overwhelmingly worship Nocturna.

Trivia[]
- The Vampyrum are erroneously referred to as cannibals in the Silverwing series despite the fact they are only seen hunting bats of different species.
