Bat scratches

[vatas]

Bats shouldn't be able to apply "Nasty Laceration" or "Severe Mauling", give them their own type of wound(s) that's scaled appropriately for an animal that weighs less than 100 grams.

The reason you can get bad wounda from bats is because of wound stacking, primarily. Don't think of it as one tiny scrape of the talon.

Bats have a unique immune defense system. They don't kill viruses, they just render them dormant. That means that an individual bat can be infected with multiple viruses simultaneously and not be "sick" in a classic sense. In 2020, more than 10,000 unique virus strains were detected in bats.

So yeah some kind of fever style wound works.
