Bats are creepy for many people. They often seem like rats with wings to us, they can spread rabies, and apparently like to hang out in all sorts of dark, foreboding places (caves, bell towers, abandoned houses, castles, crypts, etc). Three species (out of over 1,000!) are infamous for drinking blood, and have led to a strong association between bats and vampires. As such, bats frequently show up as antagonists in horror themed media. Can be roughly divided into a few types that can sometimes overlap: Normal bats: Frequently depicted as The Swarm; a shrieking mass of menacing wings, regardless of whether or not they pose any actual danger to the cast. May be controlled or conjured by someone to form a Barrage of Bats. Dire bats: Larger and more vicious than normal bats, and menacing even without The Swarm to back them up. Bat People: Monstrous, anthropomorphic creatures with a mixture of bat and human features. Robo bats: Robotic bats. Vampires can sometimes transform into these. Bat wings are also a frequent model for winged creatures of an Evil alignment. In Real Life bats aren't actually all that bad, and probably among the most unfairly maligned animals. Most bat species only eat insects or fruit, and many species are very useful to mankind as pest-eaters, pollinators and so on. The "shrieking" is often closer to benign chirping/clicking. Sometimes, they're even Ridiculously Cute Critters. In spite of being the largest bats, due to What Measure Is a Non-Cute? and Herbivores Are Friendly, fruit bats and flying foxes are rarely played for horror and more likely to be portrayed positively in fiction compared to their "uglier" yet much smaller microbat cousins. The part about them spreading rabies is sort of true, though; the species is a natural reservoir for the virus, and if a bat's found in somebody's living space it's standard protocol to treat them for rabies just in case, especially since it's possible for a bat to bite you without you noticing, particularly if you're intoxicated or asleep. Only about 0.5% of bats in the United States actually have the rabies virus, but the small yearly number of human cases in the country can mostly be divided into people who got bitten by mad dogs and people who got bitten by infected bats. This trope also applies when one or more bats accidentally get into a house or similar place that is not their usual habitat and cause havoc. If someone spooks one or more bats in their lair, that would be Bat Scare. This is not Goddamned Bats (which is about any kind of annoying video game enemy), but the two categories frequently overlap. See Good Wings, Evil Wings; evil wings tend to be batlike, while good wings are usually more feathery. Not to be confused with the baseball kind of bat or the album by Meat Loaf (though the cover art does contain an example). Examples |

A Night in the Lonesome October: Played with. The evil vampiric Count can transform into a large bat, and also has a real bat as a familiar. Needle the bat, despite his employment status, is actually an amiable fellow and no danger to anybody except small insects and the occasional defenseless grape. The Count himself never does anything to harm the heroes, and sides with them against the villains. | |

Warhammer: Age of Sigmar: Bats are the most common fauna of the Realm of Shyish, ranging from swarms of regular bats to the monstrous Fell Bats. These bats are often afflicted with the Soulblight curse turning them into bloodthirsty hunters who accompany the armies of the Soulblight vampires. The Vargheists of the Soulblight armies and the Varghulf Courtiers of the Flesh-eater Courts are vampires who have lost their humanity, devolving into hideous bat-creatures. |

Serina: The tribbats — a lineage of flying tribbets, mammal analogues descended from ray-finned fish — include a few species of this sort. Some, like the flightless shadowstalker and steppestalker are a Shout-Out to After Man, see above. The nightbiters are parasitic tribbats that are basically flying cookiecutter sharks, gnawing chunks of flesh off from giant herbivores. They are in turn preyed upon by the flapsnapper, a predator that devours other flyers whole and on the wing, but who in a bit of a subversion is actually beneficial to the nightbiters' victims as it keeps the pest populations down. The aeracuda is a large, diurnal forest predator that uses its Nested Mouths to snap up prey both on the ground and the air, and can also take on much larger quarry. |

My Little Pony: My Little Pony 'n Friends: In "The Ghost of Paradise Estate, Part 1", to scare the baby ponies, the ghost turns itself into a fearsome bat larger than they are. My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic has a few varieties of bats. Normal bats, though "dark and mysterious", are perfectly viable pets, and Fruit Bats (literally bats with fruit-like features) are entirely harmless, though inconveniently ravenous at times — a flock may chew on your fruit salad hat if you're not careful. Both kinds aren't any less cute than any other small animal in the series. Vampire bats are larger and have a more frightening appearance and don't stay in only a section of the orchard, though they're still not malicious. However, "Bats!" gave us Flutterbat, a bat-pony with a thirst for apples. |

Donkey Kong Country Returns gives us the Squeeklies, which combine this trope with Goddamned Bats and exaggerate them both. They are one of the major reasons the cave world is so reviled, particularly Crowded Cavern, which is chock full of 'em. There's even a giant Squeekly that's as tall as the screen (DK is only about an 8th as tall by comparison), whose Super Screams are one reason why the "Crowded Cavern" level is maligned by players for its intense difficulty. Fans were extremely amused when they played Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and saw the giant Squeekly trapped in a block of ice. | |

In his 3rd solo series, Morbius starts turning more and more into a bat after an attempt to cure himself of his affliction goes wrong. He's also seen in a monstrous bat form in various other universes: in a Exiles story arc (transformed when a sorcerer used magic to bring out the worst in him); in Spider-Man Heroes and Villains Collection published by Eaglemoss; in Spider-Man: The Animated Series; and in the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon. | |

Riviera: The Promised Land featured three bats... as weapons! You catch them and use them against your enemies. However they are also known to have a chance of rebellion, unless Serene uses them. Serene herself also works with the iconography, bat wings and a large scythe like the grim reaper. | |

The Dresden Files: This shows up from time to time in association with the vampire courts. The Red Court vampires are large, slimy, flightless bat-creatures who hide behind idealised human flesh-masks. The Winter Court also has an air-force largely composed of gigantic bats. |

Charby the Vampirate: One of Charby's preferred forms is of a red-eyed white bat and he starts off the series proper as an unrepentant murderer that Kellwood's vampire hunters have been warned to avoid who casually kills people in relatively secluded places all over the city. | |

World of Warcraft: One quest has you kill a giant bat named Duskwing. Giant bats are common in lots of places, and some are used as flying mounts. The Forsaken and the Darkspear Trolls seem to have a particular affinity for bats, as their flight routes use them instead of the wyverns that the rest of the Horde prefers. They even use bats as bomber planes and Troll Druids transform into bats as their Flight Form instead of the usual birds that other Druid races use. The Legion expansion adds felbats, which are giant, humanoid-ish bats used as attack beasts by the Burning Legion. Demon Hunters can get one as their class mount. |

Kamen Rider Build: Nariaki Utsumi/Kamen Rider Mad Rogue. Initially starts off as a subordinate to Evolt before revealing his true intentions to defeat Evolt. When he appears in later media, he fights alongside the other heroic Kamen Riders. While not officially a Kamen Rider, Night Rogue does superficially resemble one and is wholly villainous for his entire tenure. While his main user, Gentoku Himuro does indeed eventually redeem himself, he only does so after permanently adopting the crocodile-themed Kamen Rider Rogue identity. |

Kamen Rider Geats: Kazuo Numabukuro/Kamen Rider Brali is a huge trend breaker for bat-themed Riders. Not only is he a complete one-off character, but he's also the first of the bat Riders to be a complete villain, being an unrepented Serial Killer who murders children for money and kicks. Needless to say, most fans aren't too unhappy to see him gone, while most of the other characters in the series outright abhor him. | |

Kamen Rider Ryuki: Ren Akiyama/Kamen Rider Knight is the secondary protagonist of the series. While he is cold, aloof and willing to kill others to save his lover (or so he tells himself), he has a hidden-heart of gold and is one of the few Riders to even make an attempt to save civilians from monster attacks. Kamen Rider Dragon Knight: Ren's American counterpart, Len/Kamen Rider Wing Knight, is even more blatantly heroic than Ren, and lacks Ren's selfish though understandable motivations. |

The Sharing Knife features "malices" which create monstrous servants by magically twisting animals into more-or-less human bodies, with at least some semblance of human intelligence. In Horizon (the fourth and so far final book of the series) a malice gets hold of an enormous cave-ful of bats (one character notes there are millions of bats in some of the caves in that region) and winds up creating a flying army of creatures somewhere between "Dire Bats" and "Were Bats", while the malice itself takes the form of an especially large and eerily beautiful Were Bat. | |

Garfield's Nightmare: The later castle levels have bats that fly back and forth, though they're easy to defeat. The real danger comes from their King Mook, Warren Baty, which serves as the boss of the first world.

Warcraft: Dreadlords are demonic heroes with giant bat wings who can summon clouds of bats against enemies and regain life by attacking (and spread this to allied melee units). Despite the emphasis on melee combat, their race's hat is closer to The Chessmaster, what with manipulating heroes and villains to work for them. The expansion introduces troll batriders, support fliers who can prevent buildings from being repaired and do massive damage to enemy fliers with a kamikaze move. World of Warcraft: One quest has you kill a giant bat named Duskwing. Giant bats are common in lots of places, and some are used as flying mounts. The Forsaken and the Darkspear Trolls seem to have a particular affinity for bats, as their flight routes use them instead of the wyverns that the rest of the Horde prefers. They even use bats as bomber planes and Troll Druids transform into bats as their Flight Form instead of the usual birds that other Druid races use. The Legion expansion adds felbats, which are giant, humanoid-ish bats used as attack beasts by the Burning Legion. Demon Hunters can get one as their class mount. |

Dark Souls II has an enemy known as the "darkdweller" in the underground pirate cove that is No Man's Wharf. It's essentially designed to resemble a giant flightless bat, its wings tweaked into long arms ending in claws that inflict bleed, and there are points where you can run into two or three at once. Fortunately, they're Blinded by the Light, meaning that a torch or the Pharros contraption can give you an edge, but if you push them into a corner, it can end... badly... for you. | |

Marvel Universe: Batwing, who mainly shows up in Untold Tales of Spider-Man, a Man-Bat homage by Kurt Busiek. Dracula can transform himself into a giant bat or a bat/human hybrid. In his 3rd solo series, Morbius starts turning more and more into a bat after an attempt to cure himself of his affliction goes wrong. He's also seen in a monstrous bat form in various other universes: in a Exiles story arc (transformed when a sorcerer used magic to bring out the worst in him); in Spider-Man Heroes and Villains Collection published by Eaglemoss; in Spider-Man: The Animated Series; and in the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon. |

The Dark Knight Trilogy (being a reappropriation of the most iconic elements of the Batman mythos) milks this trope for most of its worth, most especially in Batman Begins and The Dark Knight Rises. Notably averted in The Dark Knight though, as it's the first Batman film not to feature any bats (either live-action or CG). | |

Pathfinder: Besides swarms of regular bats and dire bats the size of oxen, there are also mobats — sapient giant bats native to the Darklands — and skavelings, mobat ghouls with the same paralyzing touch of the regular humanoid kind. Werebats are also presented as a type of lycanthrope. | |

AdventureQuest: Vampires normally turn into Werebats, and more powerful Vampires are always Werebats (except the queen). Werepyres are part wolf, part bat, but they look more like a bat than a wolf. | |

Shinji the Casanova: Cupid's physical form looks like a walking, four-legged, blood-red bat with a scorpion tail. It is only one-tenth the size of an Evangelion, which means it is still huge from a human perspective. Subverted, since it ends up being friendlier than its brethren. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: Dire bats are large, aggressive relatives of normal bats. The Eyewing combines bat wings with a Faceless Eye. Several magical species of giant bat are found in the Forgotten Realms. Subverted by D&D 3E's desmodu, bat-like subterranean humanoids which are actually among the few good-aligned races in the Underdark. Their smaller cousins, the nycters, are generally neutral-aligned. Two of the minor domain lords in the Ravenloft setting are werebats. The mobat is basically a dire bat, only smart, with a spike on its tail. Giant bats in Basic D&D are the size of hawks, and about 10% are giant vampire bats with a paralytic bite. |

Metroid II: Return of Samus: Seerook sprites look like bats that don't flap their wings, though official art makes them look like Samus's visor, the "ears", "wings" and "teeth" all being spikes. Drivel sprites look even more like bats given they do flap their wings, although official art makes them look much more alien. By contrast, gulluggs do have bat like wings in their official art, but not their sprites, which look like mosquitoes. Samus Returns give them models that are even more batty. | |

Dwarf Fortress: Bugbats are bat-like creatures with the heads of insects. They're fairly harmless alone, but a swarm can kill a dwarf in seconds. Giant bats, found living Beneath the Earth, are over three times the size of a dwarf and fill the Dire Bat niche. They’re quite capable of killing a lone dwarf by themselves, but can be captured and trained as hunting animals. Goblins sometimes bring them as mounts to sieges. Bat men also exist. They only have four limbs — their arms double as wings like in real bats — and live in tribes underground, being one of the few underground animal people capable of flight. They can also be found on the surface, where like the other surface-dwelling animal people they don’t form tribes and are essentially bipedal animals. |

Castlevania (2017): Dracula's army includes some fairly literal bats from Hell among its demonic ranks: The weakest and most common members of the army, and the first seen, resemble twisted humanoid bats with both clawed arms and wings sprouting from their backs. Demons more closely resembling actual bats, but the size of oxen and capable of running on all fours with their wings folded, are among the monsters that attack the Belmont manor in Season 2. |

Neopets: Korbats are, in general, very cute. This makes them more like Real Life bats than usual! It's also played with in the case of the most prominent character who happens to be a Korbat, Lord Darigan. Introduced as the apparent Big Bad in the Champions of Meridell plot, we later learn that he and his people were victimized by the supposed "heroes", Meridell, when they stole the Orb, and cast a curse on them, despite Darigan's kingdom being pacifistic. Despite looking like a mixture of Man-Bat and a lich, Lord Darigan and his people are merely fighting to reclaim what is rightfully theirs. Although they won the war, a Diabolus ex Machina ended with Darigan going Brainwashed and Crazy when the orb failed to work. Not only did King Skarl get away scot-free and earned a position in the Gallery of Heroes while Darigan was placed in the Gallery of Evil, Darigan's successor, Lord Kass, was far more monstrous. Fortunately, Lord Darigan returned from the dead and saved Meridell, forgiving them and trying to usher in a new era of peace. And yet Darigan's still in the Gallery of Evil with Kass and the like. | |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Wolf-bats. They're vampire bats with the legs, paws, and tail of wolves, and are very aggressive and territorial. In "The Cave of Two Lovers", the ones living in the titular tunnel system attack or startle the characters on two occasions. In The Legend of Korra, one of the Pro-Bending team's names is the White Falls Wolf-bats. They even pull off a WWE-like entrance before their match. | |

The Legend of Zelda: The Keese are common enemies resembling regular bats in most regards, except for their common habit of being shrouded in fire, electricity or icy energy, which really helps these Goddamned Bats be a nuisance (alongside their generally small size and constant movement making them relatively difficult to hit in many appearances). Some in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword are undead, and the ones in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild are flying Oculothoraxes more than anything else. Vires are stronger enemies resembling humanoid bats (having been described as "a devil that controls the Keeses"), and split into multiple Keese when killed. Zelda II: The Adventure of Link has Aches and Achemen, one-game enemies that resemble Keese and Vires in almost all respects save that Aches can transform into seemingly regular humans to spy for Ganon's forces. Not content with just having Keese, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask alone also features Bad Bats, slightly larger jet black bat enemies with glaring red eyes to give them a spookier appearance. In Termina, Bad Bats are usually found in outdoor areas like hanging from trees around the Southern Swamp, while Keese dwell mainly within dungeons and act as they did in Ocarina of Time. Bad Bats are also prevalent throughout the Ikana region and dungeons there, adding an extra layer of ghostliness to them over their smaller counterparts. Introduced along with Bad Bats is the vampire-like Mini-Boss Gomess, who doesn't so much resemble a bat-like creature as much as a ghoulish scythe-wielding figure that's comprised by swarming Bad Bats, who cover its glowing core and have to be fended off with Light Arrows to damage the boss. Gomess is somewhat to Bad Bats what Vires are to Keese, and naturally it hasn't appeared outside of Majora's Mask alongside the bats that comprise it. In The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Ganon transforms into a giant bat after emerging out of Agahnim when Link beats him a second time. He can also create fire bats during his second phase. |

Bayonetta: Bayonetta can use Beast Within to transform into a swarm of bats when she evades just as she's about to take a hit, resulting in negated damage and extended Witch Time. While the bats themselves aren't evil (and neither is Bayonetta, herself), the magic used to fuel them does come from a demonic contract, so they are literally bats powered by the forces of Hell. As a side note, in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U her ability to transform into bats (called Bat Within) is an alternate for her down special Counter-Attack, activated when she uses her down special too late, allowing her to avoid damage just like in the game, but won't always activate Witch Time. In Smash this is her only animal transformation to be featured in the game. | |

Batman: Batman Forever: A deleted scene, which showed up in the trailers, has Bruce Wayne confront a giant bat in a secret, hidden chamber in the Batcave. The Dark Knight Trilogy (being a reappropriation of the most iconic elements of the Batman mythos) milks this trope for most of its worth, most especially in Batman Begins and The Dark Knight Rises. Notably averted in The Dark Knight though, as it's the first Batman film not to feature any bats (either live-action or CG). |

Kamen Rider: Bats are one of the most popular stock motifs for monsters in Kamen Riders, where like the vast majority of monsters, they serve a primarily villainous role. Bats are a fairly popular motif for Riders too. Almost no bat-themed Rider is portrayed as a complete villain, though this trend was broken by Kamen Rider Brali (see below). Kamen Rider Ryuki: Ren Akiyama/Kamen Rider Knight is the secondary protagonist of the series. While he is cold, aloof and willing to kill others to save his lover (or so he tells himself), he has a hidden-heart of gold and is one of the few Riders to even make an attempt to save civilians from monster attacks. Kamen Rider Dragon Knight: Ren's American counterpart, Len/Kamen Rider Wing Knight, is even more blatantly heroic than Ren, and lacks Ren's selfish though understandable motivations. Kamen Rider Kiva: Wataru Kurenai/Kamen Rider Kiva is the protagonist of the series, and is generally a moral well-meaning person. In the same series, we have Kamen Rider Dark Kiva. While the Dark Kiva armor's first user, King, is a villain through-and-through, the armor's later users, Otoya Kurenai and Taiga Nobori both use the armor for good (though Taiga takes a few steps towards getting to that stage). Kamen Rider Decade: Natsumi Hikari becomes Kamen Rider Kivala in the finale movie, and is instrumental in stopping a (seemingly) rampaging Decade. Kamen Rider Build: Nariaki Utsumi/Kamen Rider Mad Rogue. Initially starts off as a subordinate to Evolt before revealing his true intentions to defeat Evolt. When he appears in later media, he fights alongside the other heroic Kamen Riders. While not officially a Kamen Rider, Night Rogue does superficially resemble one and is wholly villainous for his entire tenure. While his main user, Gentoku Himuro does indeed eventually redeem himself, he only does so after permanently adopting the crocodile-themed Kamen Rider Rogue identity. Kamen Rider Revice: Kagerou/Kamen Rider Evil and Daiji Igarashi/Kamen Rider Live. While Kamen Rider Evil is, well, evil, its powers are nothing more than a mirror to Kamen Rider Live who is in contrast, purely heroic. Kamen Rider Geats: Kazuo Numabukuro/Kamen Rider Brali is a huge trend breaker for bat-themed Riders. Not only is he a complete one-off character, but he's also the first of the bat Riders to be a complete villain, being an unrepented Serial Killer who murders children for money and kicks. Needless to say, most fans aren't too unhappy to see him gone, while most of the other characters in the series outright abhor him. |

Super Mario Bros. has a lot of giant bat type enemies (Swoopers, Swampires, Swoopulas, Fangs, etc), most being roughly Mario or playable character sized and in some cases, annoying as they either swoop down or drain Mario's health. Antasma, the primary villain of Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, is an anthropomorphic one, and is known as "the Bat King". Similarly, the Wario Land series has various kinds of creepy bats, from the annoying flying bomb-shaped bats which explode after attaching themselves to Wario, the bats in Wario Land 4 which turn him into a vampire just by touching him, the ones in Wario Land: Shake It! which just swarm him, and whatever the heck Catbat is actually meant to be (some kind of flying cat thing with bat wings for ears, a mechanical bat head on it's head, that floats like a ghost). | |

Total War: Warhammer: The Vampire Counts can field a large number of monstrous bats, with one unit so far representing the swarm of shrieking bats variety, with the rest being increasingly horrifying Dire Bats. Fellbats are "small" (bird of prey-sized), expendable, and attack in large groups, used to harass and "tarpit" units. Vargheists and the flightless, tank-sized Varghulfs are degenerate vampires who have lost themselves to their bloodthirst, the first through centuries of imprisonment and the second willingly. Terrorgheists are the terrifying, undead husks of dragon-sized bats that live in the Sylvanian wilderness. The undead pirates of the Vampire Coast use flocks of undead bats similar to the Counts', alongside much bigger, living bats that roost within their ships and which in battle carry zombie gunners in their claws. Drycha's subfaction of the Wood Elves cannot recruit elven units but instead has access to a variety of bestial replacements, including flocks of gigantic cave bats. |

Donkey Kong: Donkey Kong Country has the Flip-Flaps, which have been recurring nocturnal enemies since Donkey Kong 64. Donkey Kong Country Returns gives us the Squeeklies, which combine this trope with Goddamned Bats and exaggerate them both. They are one of the major reasons the cave world is so reviled, particularly Crowded Cavern, which is chock full of 'em. There's even a giant Squeekly that's as tall as the screen (DK is only about an 8th as tall by comparison), whose Super Screams are one reason why the "Crowded Cavern" level is maligned by players for its intense difficulty. Fans were extremely amused when they played Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and saw the giant Squeekly trapped in a block of ice. |

Werewolf: The Apocalypse: Averted. Of all the various breeds that exist, including spiders, sharks and dinosaurs, the werebats are not one of them, having been wiped out several centuries ago. Mind you, the reason the Camazotz (the werebats) got eliminated in the first place is because the Shadow Lords who were part of the expeditions to South America fell prey to this trope. While the Camazotz served as Gaia's nocturnal messengers (not unlike the Corax, or wereravens), the Shadow Lords pointed out that anything with a shape like that had to be in thrall to the Wyrm (they weren't, as it happened). With the South American Camazotz wiped out, Bat, their totem, ended up falling to the Wyrm, dooming the surviving Australian Camazotz as their creation ritual became corrupted. The Shadow Lords have been trying to make up for that fuckup ever since and have even managed to free an aspect of Bat from the Wyrm's grip... but the Camazotz are still dead. | |

The Elder Scrolls: Werebats are a form of were-creature found most commonly in the forests of Valenwood. They are massive human-sized fliers. After being mentioned in the lore several games before, they make an appearance in Online. Winged Twilights are a form of lesser Daedra with humanoid female forms and large bat-like wings found throughout the series. They are most commonly found in service to Azura, the Daedric Prince of Dusk and Dawn, which seems rather appropriate. |

Pokémon: Zubat and its evolutions, which are also literal Goddamned Bats. They are often used by the various villainous teams in the series, with the team leaders for the third and fourth generation games using a Crobat as a sign of Pet the Dog (since Golbat only evolves with a high level of friendship). Gligar and Gliscor appear to be a a cross between a bat and a scorpion. Funnily enough, the anime used Gligar rather than Zubat for its Batman parody. Woobat and Swoobat are subversions. In the games, Swoobat gives off ultrasonic waves that actually put people in a better mood. Pokémon X and Y introduce Noivern, a bat crossed with a dragon and a boombox along with its pre-evolution, Noibat. Pokémon Sun and Moon: One of the mascot legendaries, Lunala, is a massive celestial bat a good four meters (13.01 ft) tall, with a proportionally larger wingspan. |

Magic: The Gathering has a few bats of the huge and monstrous variety under the domain of Black, such as the Blind Hunter and the predatory Grimclaw Bats. The Marrow Bats are a flock of skeletal, undead chiropterans. Aclazotz, the Ixalani bat-god of the night, death, and betrayal, is a profoundly malevolent entity who seeks to snuff out the sun and plunge the world into an age of eternal darkness. His servants and agents likewise take the form of demonic bats, such as the Blight Keeper. |

Necromunda: Some areas of the Necromundan Underhive are infested with swarms of carrion bats. These scavengers have ferocious piranha-like jaws that they use to steal mouthfuls of flesh from corpses and living Underhivers alike. Ripper Jacks are bat-like alien creatures that inhabit abandoned domes in the Underhive. Ripper Jacks attack by enveloping their prey’s head with their wings while biting and gouging their eyes and throat. Many Beastmaster Wyrds are able to control Ripper Jacks and fight alongside them during battle. |

Sonic the Hedgehog: In Sonic 1, Batbrain is a robotic bat who inhabits Marble Zone. He hangs upside down, but flies toward Sonic when the latter approaches him. Batbot was an enemy conceived for Sonic the Hedgehog 2, being a robot bat who inhabits Hidden Palace Zone and swoops down at the player if they get close to him. Although he was cut from the game's final product, he was eventually incorporated into the 2013 IOS remake. In Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Batbot is a robotic bat who inhabits Carnival Night Zone. He hangs motionless in mid-air either by himself or groups, but starts following the playable characters in circular patterns when they get close to him. Sonic 3D Blast has Bat, a robotic bat who inhabits Volcano Valley Zone. He hovers around a fixed area of the stage and can only harm Sonic if the hedgehog bumps right into him. Played with with Rouge the Bat. She's a Classy Cat-Burglar (with rather improbable goals) and generally on the evil side (especially in spinoffs), but closer to True Neutral and often acting as an Anti-Hero. She's a lot more like a real bat than usual, much like Korbat. |

In The Reynard Cycle, bats are generally considered to be creatures of The Watcher, the god of death, and are thus generally considered an ill omen. In The Baron of Maleperduys, Hermeline recalls that the castle of Maleperduys had to be cleared of a swarm of them before Reynard and companions could call it home. | |

Subverted and played straight in Symphony of the Night. The bats which attack you near the beginning are fairly weak enemies (ironically, the game has Goddamned Bats in many areas, but the actual bats aren't among them), and the giant bat boss appears, though it isn't a very strong boss. On the other hand, Alucard has a bat form (which you have to use to fully explore several areas and obtain various special items), and a bat familiar he can summon; bat-form Alucard can attack enemies with fireballs and sonar waves. | |

In Season 4 of Stranger Things, Vecna's realm in the Upside Down is patrolled by nasty bat-like creatures, who swarm the party after they come through the lake portal and are fought off with great difficulty (Steve kills one by biting its head off, which resident Metalhead Eddie comments is "extremely Ozzie of you"). Later, in order to infiltrate the house where Vecna dwells, they need to distract the bats, which Eddie does with an utterly epic rendition of Master of Puppets on his electric guitar from atop his trailer. Sadly, they ultimately claim Eddie's life, when he decides to (successfully) buy more time by leaving the trailer and facing the swarm. | |

Shadowrun: The rather inaccurately named birdman, also referred to somewhat more accurately as the manbat, is a type of Awakened bat the size of a bird of prey. While they don't normally go after humans, they're still quite aggressive when disturbed, naturally prey on creatures as big as owls, move in large swarms, and possess very sharp claws on their thumbs and saliva laced with contagious bacteria. Stonebinders are large, but not unrealistically so, Awakened brown bats with long tails tipped with venomous stingers. Their real danger comes from their saliva, however, which causes living tissues it touches to rapidly calcify and turn into an immobile, stone-like state. Stonebinders can spit this saliva with great accuracy from a meter away, and its effects spread from the area of contact until the victim is entirely petrified within a few hours. |

Not content with just having Keese, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask alone also features Bad Bats, slightly larger jet black bat enemies with glaring red eyes to give them a spookier appearance. In Termina, Bad Bats are usually found in outdoor areas like hanging from trees around the Southern Swamp, while Keese dwell mainly within dungeons and act as they did in Ocarina of Time. Bad Bats are also prevalent throughout the Ikana region and dungeons there, adding an extra layer of ghostliness to them over their smaller counterparts. Introduced along with Bad Bats is the vampire-like Mini-Boss Gomess, who doesn't so much resemble a bat-like creature as much as a ghoulish scythe-wielding figure that's comprised by swarming Bad Bats, who cover its glowing core and have to be fended off with Light Arrows to damage the boss. Gomess is somewhat to Bad Bats what Vires are to Keese, and naturally it hasn't appeared outside of Majora's Mask alongside the bats that comprise it. |

Warhammer: Unsurprisingly, the Vampire Counts have several bat units, including Bat Swarms (regular bats), Fell Bats (flocks of bigger bats), Varghulfs (vampires who have (usually willingly) degenerated into huge flightless bat-like monsters), and Vargheists (vampires who were forcibly mutated into mindless flying bat monsters smaller than the aforementioned Varghulfs). The epitome of this trope in the setting is the Terrorgheist, the zombified remains of a dragon-sized bat that preys on horses and pegasi. It can also explode into a swarm of smaller bats if slain. Many vampires, particularly those of the Strigoi bloodline, are capable of either turning into monstrous bats or growing bat-like wings. |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic has a few varieties of bats. Normal bats, though "dark and mysterious", are perfectly viable pets, and Fruit Bats (literally bats with fruit-like features) are entirely harmless, though inconveniently ravenous at times — a flock may chew on your fruit salad hat if you're not careful. Both kinds aren't any less cute than any other small animal in the series. Vampire bats are larger and have a more frightening appearance and don't stay in only a section of the orchard, though they're still not malicious. However, "Bats!" gave us Flutterbat, a bat-pony with a thirst for apples. | |

The Adventures of Puss in Boots: Ancient Evil the Bloodwolf has an army of wolves with bat wings. Given that they come out of a portal to the "Netherworld", they are as close to literally being bats out of hell as it gets. | |

In Primal (2019), the protagonists Spear and Fang are attacked by a flock of monster bats during a blood moon. The bats are blood-red, several times bigger than a human, strong enough to carry off dinosaurs, and surprisingly intelligent as well as loyal servants of an even more monstrous spider. | |

Transformers Victory: Hellbat the Decepticon, who as one of the Breastforce (don't laugh) has a bat-themed partner. Fortunately, despite his hypnotism power, Hellbat's less of a threat thanks to being a cowardly schmuck, though his bat partner is creepy looking, and has an Overly-Long Tongue it can use to drain energy from enemies. | |

Primeval: The Future Predators are highly evolved, flightless bats, and apparently inspired by the flightless bats of After Man: A Zoology of the Future. Rather than being creepy or blood-drinking, they're ferocious, strong and agile predators. | |

Both played straight and averted by the Komory Bat dream eater in Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance]. The creepy red eyes and dark colors their evil Nightmare versions possess give them a rather unsettling appearance, and they're the other kind of bat as well. On the other hand, the brightly colored friendly Spirit version is adorable and a surprisingly helpful ally in combat despite being one of the two starter dream eaters. | |

Graveyard Shift climaxes with a giant bat-like monster under the textile mill. The intent is probably supposed to be giant rat that has evolved bat-like wings, as in the Stephen King short story that inspired the movie, but you'd be forgiven for thinking it was just a big ol' bat. | |

Kingdom Hearts has multiple examples, all as regular enemies: The Bit Snipers from the first Kingdom Hearts are bat-like Heartless that can only be found in the battle against Ansem in the World of Chaos at the End of the World, so they don't have an entry on Jiminy's Journal. Both played straight and averted by the Komory Bat dream eater in Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance]. The creepy red eyes and dark colors their evil Nightmare versions possess give them a rather unsettling appearance, and they're the other kind of bat as well. On the other hand, the brightly colored friendly Spirit version is adorable and a surprisingly helpful ally in combat despite being one of the two starter dream eaters. Kingdom Hearts II introduces the Hook Bat Heartless, which appears in swarms and uses sound attacks. Reaction commands let you use them to pull Grievous Harm with a Body. The Final Mix version of the game introduces its Palette Swap, the Beffudler. Kingdom Hearts 0.2: Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage- introduces the Fluttering, which lives in the Realm of Darkness. |

Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers Subverted in the episode "Good Times, Bat Times": Yes, Foxglove is a bat. And yes, she is a witch's familiar. But no, she is anything but horrifying. Instead, she is a cute and lovable bat the size of a chipmunk and in love with Dale. While the Jamaican fruit bats from "Battle of the Bulge" may work for Fat Cat, they are more like some quite messy comic relief with their emphasis on "Jamaican". |

Transformers: Ratbat, one of Soundwave's cassettes, turns into a bat (as his name belies). In the comics, as a fuel auditor (who later spent some time leading the original Earthbound Decepticons) he was obsessed with using Energon efficiently. Decepticon hypnotist Mindwipe falls into this as well, complete with a Hungarian Accent. Soundwave also has a bat-themed action master partner and later second cassette, Wingthing, whose later toys are Ratbat recolors. Averted with the Convobat/original Optimus Primal toy, Nightscream from Beast Machines, and Nyx in IDW's 2021 Beast Wars comic, who all share bat alternate modes but are firmly heroic. | |

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom: The giant bats are actually real bats — but not vampire bats, contrary to what Indy says. Many large bats in Real Life have been saddled with taxonomic names containing vampire references, so Indy might well have been misled by this — or he was just trying to screw with Willy. Just listen to his voice when he says that line. | |
