Description
Information About
This god's cultists make human sacrifices to have the Father appear and conquer all men. The sacrifices are run through gauntlets of clubs with embedded bat teeth coated in poison. The cult leaders could turn into bat-winged creatures as well. The cult supposedly died out 100 years ago.[1]
There is mention in an Aboriginal song of a gathering place in Western Australia for the gods who were blown away by the Black Wind when the Father of Bats entered the world.[1]
Another mention is a tale of the Father of Bats and his fight with Rainbow Snake where Rainbow Snake traps the Father somehow.[1]
