The Ham Bats

The jolly members of the Ham Bat clan love a good bite to eat – or ten. Their hefty, jiggly bodies, the shape of canned hams, boast bright colors in the way of healthy pink skin, vibrant yellow hair, and twinkling apple-green eyes. When donned in their equally vibrant wardrobes, they are hard to miss. Color-coordinated hats and bags are their must-have accessories, especially when they dance. Their highly sensitive, fan-shaped ears have almost as much spring in them as their dancing feet. They love their cats, naps in their frying pan beds, and ants, especially when they’re crispy-fried and sprinkled on their meals.

The happy, overeating folks have a unique habit of speaking in “ood’lies” (they add “d’l” and “ood’ly” to the end of many words). Though they are charged with providing the town with most of its meals, the Ham Bats are guilty of being overly generous at times, finding an excessive need to gift the townsfolk with food. Their sprawling hacienda-style home plays host to most community-wide social events.
