The stingbat (Na'vi name: riti) is a small aerial predator with a highly developed navigational system and four eyes.
Stingbats continue to fly into the range of automated sentry guns that defend the Hell's Gate compound, resulting in constant slaughter. Their diminished cerebral capacity also makes them common prey for larger predators such as the Forest Banshee, but their prodigious mating habits ensure a steady population. The Na'vi use their tails as plectrums for playing musical bows.
