Bats are enemies that appear in every Shantae game.
Adorable! But also slow moving and not very aggressive. They attack Shantae by simply running into her (in some entries they attempt to bite her). If Shantae is spotted, Bats will usually continue to pursue her, unless they are defeated or escaped from. Shantae herself can transform into a Bat in Half-Genie Hero. Additionally, it is one of the many creatures that wears tiaras like Shantae does. The bats have 1 HP in The Pirate's Curse.
Appearance[]
In Shantae, they are adorable purple bats with white horns and wings. In Risky's Revenge, its wings are red, and they add a tiara and a horn in the middle of its head. In Half-Genie Hero, its horns are bigger and its eyes are red, but the middle horn is removed.
Behaviour[]
They are still until Shantae gets close to them. Then, they move towards her and attack. Their movements are slow, and they aren't very agressive. In Pirate's Curse, they have 1 HP.
Shantae: Half-Genie Hero introduced an electric variant. Rather than fly at Shantae, they sit in one place and occasionally discharge sparks. Shantae can't hit them without retaliation in this state, so she either has to wait for the sparks to die down or hit them from afar.
In Shantae and the Seven Sirens, their Monster Card reduces the cost of the Boomerang spell.
Trivia[]
The Bat is an optional transformation in Half-Genie Hero. It hovers at a set height and can fly back and forth, and can be upgraded with the Bat Sonar relic to see in the dark (somewhat).
