This legend comes from the Seram Island, or so-called Nusa Ina (Mother). According to local legend, there lived a mysterious creature who lives in the mountains in the region of Mount Kairatu stature as human beings, winged like a child abducted at night to eat it. The creature was named The Bati. Seram Island is located on the north island of Ambon, Maluku Province, Indonesia.
Seram island has an area of 18 625 km2, with a length of 340 km and 60 km wide. The term Nusa Ina for the island of Maluku people motivated by the belief that says Seram as the island where the parent or the origin of the people of Maluku before it spread to the neighboring islands.
Many stories and legends of mystical tales evolved on this island. And one of them is The Bati. The story of Bati international attention after a man named Karl Shuker poured his story in a book called "Is Batman Alive and well and Living on the Island of Seram?".
Monster is often associated with Mothman (winged man in America). Karl Shuker call itBatman, but some other researchers call this creature Mothman Indonesia. Seram Island since the 15th century, the residents reported a mysterious creature that lives in caves in the non-active volcano Kairatu. The creature is said to have as a human body and wings. His habit was to kidnap a small child in the evening for dinner. They call it Bati man.
According to the description of the population, The Bati people have about 1.6 meters in height, black-winged, red-skinned and has a small tail length. The Bati name itself means winged man. The story of Bati last for centuries among the local population to then be told to the Christian missionaries who came to the island. In 1987, a British missionary named Tyson Hughes started her job to stay for 18 months in the Moluccas to teach residents how to grow crops efficiently.
The resident then told the story of The Bati to Mr. Hughes. Of course, Mr. Hughes was skeptical, until he himself claimed to meet with the creature. Unfortunately, not find more information about the details of that encounter.
Some experts Cryptozoology (the study of animal which animals learn about a hidden or mysterious) believe that The Bati was the Pterodactyl (a type of flying animals, dinosaurs lived at the time) who are still living in this modern century. But the most popular theory is the theory of a giant bat. The possibility of the population saw a giant bat-eating monkeys and wrong identified. There was no physical evidence to suggest that these creatures have lived on the island of Seram. Yet somehow, the legend lives on for centuries. But it's not too surprising. We also do not have physical evidence confirmed Nessie from the Lochness, Bigfoot or Mothman from America.

However, the sentence was just out of the mouth of the Kudun, suddenly heard a very loud voice shout from Kukuban.
"No! I do not agree with their marriage! I know who Giran, "she cried, blushing Kukuban.
"He's arrogant, do not be polite and brash. He does not deserve a husband Sani, "he added.
"Why do you say so, my child? Are there any words or conduct that ever offended you? "Said Datuk Limbatang calmly.

Kukuban only paused at the question. Although in his heart to admit that what he said Datuk Limbatang is true, but because his heart was engulfed by a grudge, he still refused to accept it.
"It's up to Engku if it would defend their own children. But, Sani is our brother. I will not marry a child Engku Sani, "said Kukuban snapped.
"Well, my son! I also will not force you. But, we hope that someday this decision can be changed, "said Datuk Limbatang farewell as he went home with his wife.
Apparently, Siti Rasani inside the room to hear all their conversation. He was very saddened to hear the verdict that his eldest brother. For him, Giran is a prospective husband who she craved for. Since the incident, Sani always looked glum. Almost every day he sits pensively thinking solutions to his problems. Neither the Giran, thinking the same thing. For days the two lovers were thinking, but have not found a way out. Finally, they both agreed to meet at the usual place, ie in a field by the river, to discuss problems they are facing.

"Get them! We bring them to trial custom! "Kukuban command.
"Man, Bang! We do not do anything. I only treat the affected Sani thorn wounds, "Giran said.
"You liar! I look at your own thighs rubbing my brother! "Snapped Kukuban.
"Yeah right! You have committed acts prohibited. You have to be brought to trial customary to be punished, "continued a resident.
Finally, Giran and Sani herded into the village to the courtroom. Kukuban with eight brothers and several other residents testified that they saw themselves forbidden by Giran and Sani. Although Giran and Sani have made the defense and assisted by Datuk Limbatang, but the court decided that both are guilty of breaking the prevailing custom in the village.

"Oh my God! We hear and grant our prayers. If we are truly innocent, destroy our bodies in the water this hot volcanic crater. However, if we are not guilty, and curse this mountain letuskanlah Bujang Nine to fish! "
After the prayer, Giran and Sani immediately jump into the crater. Both were drowned in the water of the crater. Some people who witnessed the event was overwhelmed by the sense of tension and anxiety. If Giran is really not guilty and his prayer was granted, then they will all perish. It was true. Giran request is granted by God. A few moments later, the mountain shook and suddenly a very loud explosion followed. Too hot lava gushing out of the crater, flowing toward the village and destroy all in its path. Everyone's trying to save themselves. However, the unfortunate fate. The eruption of the Mountain Tinjau gathering strength until the mountain was devastated. No one who survived. Nine single was transformed into a fish.
