Camazotz
From the White Wolf Wiki, the most complete White Wolf reference
The Camazotz were werebats, one of the extinct Changing Breeds of Werewolf: The Apocalypse. They were all but destroyed in the War of Rage, and later exterminated by the Black Spiral Dancers.
A small population of Camazotz managed to survive in South America, but they were wiped out in the 1600s by Garou accompanying the Spanish Conquistadors. The Shadow Lords among the invaders were greatly alarmed by the werebats' chiropteran shapes and blood rituals, which reminded them of their ancient enemies, the Tzimisce vampires. Believing them to be servants of the Wyrm, the Shadow Lords systematically wiped them out; the last Camazotz was killed by a Garou named Dark Claw of Vengeance.
The Shadow Lords' crime remains a secret outside the tribe, but it's believed that the spiritual death scream of the last werebat triggered a chain of events in the Umbra that led to the creation of the Storm Eater.
After their destruction, the werebat totem, Bat, fell to the wyrm. In recent years, though, a young Shadow Lord descended from Dark Claw of Vengeance has begun to make amends for the slaughter of the werebats, and have even managed to redeem an aspect of the Bat totem.
Few among the Fera remember the Camazotz, though the Mokolé keep their memory alive through Mnesis. They recall that the Camazotz were Gaia's other messengers, counterparts of the Corax who flew through the night and the southern lands which did not have ravens. It has been confirmed that they reproduced via a ritual not unlike one used by the Corax, but almost nothing is known about them besides that.
