French Name: Vol Perte.
Number: 21.
Planet: Mercury.
Appearance: A blue, scaly bat flies with a rat in its claws. The bat is grinning madly.
Keywords: Fear, Trickery, Theft.
Personal Notes: Edmond doesn't seem to know jack sh*t about bats. They aren't scaled, they don't eat rats (most species are insectivores), and they most certainly aren't blue. The bat is an allegory for trickery and misdirection, said to be exiled by the birds and the beasts for trying to fight on both sides. The bat is also a symbol of luck in Feng Shui, and a symbol of death in Mesoamerica, but that doesn't seem relevant to the card. Rats are a symbol of theft, as seen in the Lenormand deck. A bat carrying a rat, therefore, could mean conmen and scamming.
