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 it Batman, 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.
