"Cousin?"
I’ve decided to call my vampire bat pony Diphylla, after the hairy-legged vampire bat. Because I like to give my characters latin names
As for the fruit bat in this…well I had a little “theory” about how these vampire ponies may have started.
In the episode “Bats” Twilight Sparkle casts a spell on the vampire fruit bats to make them stop eating apples. I always wondered (espesially after the parasprite fiasco) what else did she expect them to eat?
So after being forced to stop eating apples, one or more of the fruit bats took after some of their predatory relatives and went after ponies.
Due to the magic energies they had been infused with it caused a mutation, either in the bat or the pony they attacked. They even inherited a variety of Fluttershy’s “stare” giving them hypnotic powers.
And so the vampire ponies were born. Unlike the traditional vampires they are not immortal or undead, but simply mutated ponies, who spread their mutation through biting and sucking the victim’s blood. (Not all ponies who get bitten turn into vampires instantly. I haven’t quite decided what it takes to turn one, but honestly I feel that would be a bit excessive)
