Woobat appears to be based on the {{wp|Honduran white bat}} (a white species of fruit bat) and a literal interpretation of a {{wp|heart-nosed bat}}. It also bears some resemblance to a {{wp|vampire bat}}, despite its difference in diet. | Woobat appears to be based on the {{wp|Honduran white bat}} (a white species of fruit bat) and a literal interpretation of a {{wp|heart-nosed bat}}. It also bears some resemblance to a {{wp|vampire bat}}, despite its difference in diet.
