prettygoodwordvespertilionize (ves-per-TIL-yun-aiz) - v., to turn into a bat.
I am not at all clear on whether this is transitive (to transform someone else) or intransitive (to transform oneself) -- the two books of rare words in which this turned up disagree on this. I personally like to think it's intransitive: it's what a vampire does, rather than a witch. From vespers, evening.
