In 1972, he infamously bit the head off a bat in a frenzied concert in Des Moines, Iowa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He was already famous when he decided to &#8220;spice things up&#8221;&#8211; an act that would have seen him get banned in 2021. As the lead vocalist of the Black Sabbath, a heavy metal band, &#8220;Ozzy&#8221; even branded himself as the &#8220;Prince of Darkness&#8221;, the Satan himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is 2021, and to mark the end of a year, Ozzy is now joining the rapidly growing global NFT community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking to Twitter, the English songwriter said he would launch an NFT project and mint 9,666 unique bats of his creation. Set for mid-January 2022, Ozzy is partnering with NFT studio Sutter Systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I\u2019m launching a f****** NFT project. 9,666 unique bats designed by yours truly&#8230;\u00a0<br>go and follow <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CryptoBatzNFT?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">@CryptoBatzNFT<\/a> and read all about it below\u00a0\ud83e\udd87\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/kJMAwLQqJE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">https:\/\/t.co\/kJMAwLQqJE<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Ozzy Osbourne (@OzzyOsbourne) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OzzyOsbourne\/status\/1475529278687113218?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">December 27, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Each Cryptobat will integrate a feature called &#8216;MutantBatz&#8217;.

Thus far, Cryptobats can bite and mutate with Bored Apes, SupDucks, and Cryptotoadz NFTs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The &#8220;biting&#8221; feature pays tribute to the most iconic on-stage moment and CryptoBatz is a &#8220;mental project,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.co.uk\/music\/news\/exclusive-ozzy-osbourne-announces-nfts-cryptobatz-collection-8800\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said Ozzy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been trying to get in on the NFT action for a while, so when I asked Sharon for a Bored Ape for Christmas after several failed attempts of buying my own, and she said no, so I decided to create my own.
