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).
