Flickerbats are aerial organisms that are indigenous to the Phendrana Drifts region of Tallon IV. While they are colored a pale blue, they use optical camouflage to render themselves nearly invisible to the naked eye. It is believed that their name stems from the way that they seem to "flicker" in and out of the visible spectrum. This camouflage is used to both protect them from potential predators as well as keep their prey from seeing their attack strafes, allowing them to, presumably, conserve more energy (assuming that the optical camouflage adaptation does not require tremendous energy in the first place).

Flickerbats generally fly in cyclical hunting patterns, using primitive sonar to navigate.

  • Especie: Flickerbat. Carroñero dotado de un camuflaje óptico que lo hace invisible al ojo desnudo. :''Los Flickerbats son criaturas engañosas. La única forma de visualizarlas correctamente es con la imagen de rayos X. Vuelan sin cesar, a la caza de insectos y otras presas de pequeño tamaño que flotan en las corrientes de aire. Los Flickerbats tienden a volar en círculos y se sirven de un primitivo sónar para orientarse.

  • Flickerbats are deceptive creatures. The only way to track them reliably is with x-ray imaging. They fly ceaselessly, hunting on insects and other small insects that float on the air currents. Flickerbats tend to fly in cyclical hunting patterns, using primitive sonar to navigate.

  • Flickerbats are flying creatures. Pale blue in color, they frequently use optical camouflaging to render themselves invisible to the naked eye. Their name presumably comes from the way they "flicker" in and out of the visible spectrum. They have fairly small wings, requiring them to flap their wings at a rapid rate to fly. Scientists have only been able to track them reliably by the use of X-ray imaging. They fly non-stop without tiring, hunting for insects and other small prey that float on air currents. Flickerbats generally fly in cyclical hunting patterns, using primitive sonar to navigate. Samus Aran encounters Flickerbats in the Phendrana Drifts on Tallon IV, though it is hard to spot them without the use of the X-Ray Visor due to their optical camouflaging. They pose no threat to her unless she is in the way of their hunting patterns, in which case they will knock her back slightly, causing a small amount of damage. These creatures behave very similarly to Sandbats, Nightbarbs and Phazon Nightbarbs. They can be shot and killed, and they explode similar to birds elsewhere on Tallon IV.
  • Flickerbats are aerial organisms that are indigenous to the Phendrana Drifts region of Tallon IV.

This camouflage is used to both protect them from potential predators as well as keep their prey from seeing their attack strafes, allowing them to, presumably, conserve more energy (assuming that the optical camouflage adaptation does not require tremendous energy in the first place). The species have fairly small wings in comparison to their body size, and as such they must flap their wings at a rapid rate in order to achieve the lift necessary for flight. They spend their entire lives tirelessly flying non-stop in cyclical hunting patterns, using primitive sonar to navigate, likely meaning that they possess a melon organ within their head. Flickerbats hunt for insectoid organisms as well as other small prey that float on the air currents of the Phendrana Drifts. While they are generally harmless to passersby, the occasional accidental collision between a sapient being and a Flickerbat has been known to occur. Scientists have thus far only been able to reliably track Flickerbats through the use of x-ray imaging.
