Catbat is a slim cat-bat hybrid with light blue-green fur. They have yellow eyes with catlike slit pupils and heavy eyebrow ridges, surrounded by dull pink markings and a scar over their right eye. They have a small pink nose, large fangs and long pointed ears with three silver piercings in the left ear. They also have a long thin tail and large spiked bat wings with pink webbing. They wear a black leather jacket with a tall, studded collar, dull blue jeans with a tear over the right knee, a black leather belt with a skull-shaped buckle, and a silver spiked ring around their tail. They don't wear anything under their jacket, showing purple stripes on their chest. They have bare feet with large brown claws. | Catbat is a slim cat-bat hybrid with light blue-green fur.
