(Undo revision 3623776 - It literally doesn't matter, it's still a source identifying them as bats, unlike Polar Bear(which I am sorry for reverting btw) which was explicitly said to not be a "polar bear" but a snow monster. At the very least we should still mention it being a bat in english sources a la Spider, and japanese names aren't always indicative (like how "Cookie" is clearly not a cookie))
