The Stingbat (Na'vi name: Riti) is a small aerial predator with a highly developed navigational system and four eyes.
The creatures continue to fly into the range of automated sentry guns that defend the Hell's Gate compound, resulting in constant slaughter. Their diminished cerebral capacity also makes them common prey for larger predators such as the Forest Banshee, but their prodigious mating habits ensure a steady population. The Na'vi use their tails as plectrums for playing Musical Bows.
The Stingbat has translucent fangs and claws with predominant bioluminescence on the wing membrane and torso. One of the Stingbat's features is a Scorpion-like tail stinger and a small brain cavity. Despite the highly developed visual navigational system their small brain cavity and cerebral cortex inhibits their innate survival mechanisms.
The Stingbat is an omnivore, feeding on both flora and fauna; prefering rodent sized creatures, lizards, and fruit. The Stingbat usually feeds alone but will swarm with other Stingbats against larger prey such as small Hexapede.
In the script, one Stingbat attacked Jake when he just arrived at Hell's Gate, but was immediately killed by Lyle Wainfleet.
A Stingbat appears on Avatar Norm Spellman's i-Tag.
Although not seen up-close in Avatar, Stingbats can be sighted throughout the film. Three are seen flying away from Grace's, Norm's, and Jake's Avatars during their first expedition on Pandora. Several can also been seen at various times while flying around Hometree.
nice^^
