Crocobat
A hybrid of Crocodile + Bat

Its elongated snout is filled with sharp teeth, while its keen eyes allow for excellent night vision. The Crocobat's wingspan can reach up to six feet, enabling it to glide gracefully through the air and swoop down on unsuspecting prey. Its powerful limbs are equipped with webbed feet, allowing it to navigate both aquatic environments and land with agility.
