I am converting some monsters/spells/items from FTA and related AD&D material.
Here they are for dicussion and critics (of course :))
Verrangoin
Varrangoin, or abyss bats, are creatures native to the Abyss (as their name suggests). They appear as giant bats with the leather of their wings (wingspan is typically twice the body length) rotted and hanging away from their skeletal frames. They possess long, forked tails. The head of each varrangoin is a skull-like horror with red glowing eyes and sharp talons and teeth. The V-VI types have barbed tails that can be used for effective melee attacks. The six identified types of abyss bat are physically indistinguishable, which makes countering their special attacks and defenses especially difficult. It is not certain that there are only six types of these horrors, although Oerth sages have only documented this number to date.

I don't know if there is a 3.5 version of the Varrangoin in any of the hardback monster books, but Paizo did one in their Savage Tide Adventure Path in Dungeon Magazine #148, p. 70. You might check that out for reference if you haven't seen it already.
