* "Batadactyl" was originally an unofficial name used internally by Bungie to refer to the creatures. The name was coined during an argument between members of Bungie's environment team over what animal the creatures most resembled.<ref name="RAV">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTXb7eBoCJ8 '''Ride Along - Venus''' - ''Bungie Commentary'']</ref> Some players erroneously believed that the creatures were [[Ahamkara]] due to their vaguely reptilian appearance. | * "Batadactyl" was originally an unofficial name used internally by Bungie to refer to the creatures.

*The appearances of the two [[Venus|Venusian]] Batadactyl models are vastly different, one has orange membrane wings that connect to the hind limbs from the forelimbs, it also has a short head with what are possibly ears. The other has a pointy head, has more dragon-like wings and possesses larger hind limbs that are not attached to the wings, it also has a longer tail. Though this model is untextured so the colors or any other description beyond their shape is impossible. This could hint that there are perhaps one or more different species of the creature. | *The appearances of the two [[Venus|Venusian]] Batadactyl models are vastly different, one has orange membrane wings that connect to the hind limbs from the forelimbs, it also has a short head with what are possibly ears.

**The untextured variant may instead be the same as the Venusian Batadactyls, but were left in a rough model and untextured state due to them being so high up the developers did not find it important enough to properly model them, or left them in such an unfinished state to help with game performance. However due to the higher quality textured Batadactyls | **The untextured variant may instead be the same as the Venusian Batadactyls, but were left in a rough model and untextured state due to them being so high up the developers did not find it important enough to properly model them, or left them in such an unfinished state to help with game performance. However due to the higher quality textured Batadactyls being further away, this conclusion is dubious. These differences most likely was a developer oversight, though no conclusion is confirmed. | ||
