BAT

Christianity heavily influenced our views on bats during the Middle Ages but it was the epic medieval poem Dante’s Inferno, that solidified bats as an allegory for the devil and his domain. Dante’s famous poem described Devil’s wings as looking similar to those of a bat. Associating with bats quickly became linked with witchcraft, an offence punishable by death. Even nobility could not avoid this association; a French noblewoman, Lady Jacaume of Bayonne, was burned to death simply because crowds of bats frequented her garden. In reality, those bats were likely taking advantage of the insects drawn to her flowers.
