I don't think it's necessarily based on bats. It just has wings because it's an air hybrid. Other than having wings and being associated with darkness it doesn't seem anything of a bat. I think it borrows more from the wolves howling at the moon and howling wind and everything that has to be in a cheesy scary story. Besides, this barrel-chested beast looks more likely to howl than screech. And I do love howl dragons. (Sonic dragons are more obviously based on bats. And I don't particularly like them.)
