Imagine if humans gained the ability to transfer characteristics from one animal to another, allowing the seamless merging of humans and animals. If given this opportunity, I would choose to be hybridized with a vampire bat. The bat has always fascinated me despite the creepy reputation they have. I wonât lie and say that this decision has nothing to do with my âVampire Diariesâ and âInterview with a Vampireâ obsession, but these creatures also have incredible capabilities that I would love to possess. Integrating with a vampire bat would open me up to an entirely new world and would improve my overall quality of life.
Besides their killer looks, vampire bats have qualities that are far beyond human ability. A notable example is echolocation which allows them to âseeâ in the dark, in a way. They emit sounds of a certain frequency that return as echoes, allowing them to discern their surroundings with phenomenal precision. If I had this trait, it would allow me to detect whatâs happening around me even when my vision is limited. As a woman who enjoys being out at night, this would add on a layer of protection that could help save my life or someone elseâs. Another vampire bat trait worth mentioning is their heat sensing ability. These creatures can literally sense the warmth of blood vessels in their prey. In addition to this, they also have pain-relieving saliva to keep victims from being aware theyâre getting fed on. I would embrace all of these traits to help me navigate the world in a more superior way.
To what extent would I want this hybridization to go? Iâd want to mostly keep my human form but with some changes like the fangs and the bat wings, of course. Im more interested in the mental improvements that the hybridization would give me. These animals form close bonds with their groups and I would want to gain that same sense of community and mutual support. That is why Iâm not willing to give up all of my humanity because I still want my human emotions and empathy along with the intelligence and intuition of the vampire bat.
Overall, blending with a bat wouldnât involve me losing myselfâit would turn me into a better version of who I am today and I would love to have this opportunity.
