Winged Gaunts are giant bat-like creatures with scaly skin and hawk-like claws.  They are native to the Outer Void.  When slain they dissolve into a foul-smelling cloud that quickly dissipates.  They average 15 feet tall and have a 30 foot wingspan.

Combat
Winged Gaunts fight with their impressive claws.

This monster appeared in the TSR D&D Conan Module "Against the Darkness", published around 1984 by Ken Rolsten.  Thoth-Amon, the greatest living sorcerer of the Hyborian Age, threatens the peace of Aquilonia. His tragic mistake is that he threatens Conan also, for Conan is now King of this mighty land.  This is not a Robert E. Howard story, but the creature is still very cool.  My thanks to Mr. Black for making this module available to me.
