Character Background
The leader of the Bat tribe in the Legends of Chima; an antagonist who fought alongside the spiders and scorpions in the 'Outlands' story arc.
Design Notes
Features a unique bat-head mold for the helmet and a specialized wing piece designed specifically for the winged tribes of Chima.
Similar Minifigures
Blista, Sparratus, Scorm, and other 2014 'Outlands' antagonists.
Collectibility
Moderate; highly sought after by completionist Chima collectors but has limited appeal to general LEGO fans due to the specific animal-humanoid aesthetic.
History
Introduced in the second year of Chima (2014) as part of the 'Dark Tribes' expansion which moved the conflict away from the Lion Temple.
Interesting Facts
The Bat tribe minifigures use the same wing mold as the Raven tribe but in black; their 'Chi' orbs are usually depicted as 'corrupted' or 'stolen'.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed with other Bat tribe members or in a dark 'cave' themed diorama; use a transparent posing stand to simulate flight.
Modification Potential
Excellent for horror MOCs or custom vampire-style warriors; the helmet and wings are very versatile for fantasy builds.
Overall Assessment
A well-designed villain with intricate printing and a striking silhouette; a solid mid-tier collectible for fans of LEGO's original fantasy themes.
