Intelligent, locomotive-sized chiroptera, able to pull an elephant apart with their claws, or pummel it to pieces with their hellish shrieks. They are covered in a fine, dull fur; their bodies are thin, the ridges of their ribs pressing through the patchy dull fur. A curator's wings are thin but sturdy, with a texture between sailcloth and supple leather. The creatures' teeth are long, serrated, and sharp as chisels. Their vast jaws display a row of yellowing fangs; each is stubbornly rooted in the scarlet, glistening gum. Curators accumulate hoards, which they guard violently. Each hoard collects artifacts or creatures themed to the curator’s particular obsession. A curator typically carries items using a tight net harness strapped to its body. They attach their large, papery eggs between rocks or in high places, which resemble wasp's nests and can contain treasure. If not solitary, curators are often used as messengers or servants by powerful beings due to their intelligence, strength, and speedy flight.
