Its only member is a species known as the ''Phosbat'', and its several stages of life. Members belong to the ''Tectupervus'' genus. | ||

The Phosbat is the infant form of the [[Vehemoth Phosbat]]. It bears some notable resemblances to the adult form, including its orange wings, black, hairy head, and big bulging eyes that squint when exposed to light. The noises the Phosbat emits are also similar to that of the adult form. Its legs are stumpy, similar to those of the adult, but it lacks proper arms. It also lacks fluorescent lights upon its head, and only two fangs are visible in its mouth. | The Phosbat is the infant form of the [[Vehemoth Phosbat]].

Phosbat Pods are nest-like organism from which [[Phosbat]]s spawn. If light from a [[Glowcap]] shines on top of one, it closes its opening, preventing it from spawning more Phosbats; it will also stop spawning Phosbats after it has spawned five of them. If a Phosbat Pod doesn't activate before the big light bulb in the [[Vehemoth Phosbat]] arena is turned on, it will remain small. It should be noted that attacking a Phosbat Pod will attract the attention of the Vehemoth Phosbat; this is a reasonable, motherly response. | Phosbat Pods are nest-like organism from which [[Phosbat]]s spawn.

The family name | The family's name, ''Aerodentia'', can be split into two parts, ''aero'' and ''dentia''. ''Aero'' refers to the air or sky in Latin, and the adult form, the Vehemoth Phosbat, is seen to be able to fly. ''Dentia'' is related to teeth, possibly pointing out the adult Phosbat's teeth, and the young Phosbat's fangs. Putting those two meanings together, the name could mean "toothed flier". | ||
The family's genus, ''Tectupervus'', can also be split into two parts, ''tectu'' and ''pervus''. ''Tectu'' itself doesn't have a Latin meaning, but its closest word, ''tectum'', means shelter. This could point to how the aerodentia family live in dark caves, which shelter them from the sun. ''Pervus'' also lacks a meaning, but may be based on the verb ''pervolo'', meaning "to fly through". Putting those two meanings together, the genus could mean "sheltered flier". | |||
