Bat



Annoying and appearing in large numbers, the Bat is an uncommon foe in Catacomb 3D but is also one of the fastest foes in the game.

They look like oversized black bats.

The Bat also appears in Catacomb Abyss, Catacomb Armageddon, and Catacomb Apocalypse.

In Catacomb 3D
The Bat has only one Hit Point, and tends to rush directly at the player, but is fast and tends to appear in very large groups. It also does more damage than the Orcs, and as such they will attempt to swarm the player. Once they get in close, they dart quickly around the player, hoping to avoid enemy fire (since even a single uncharged shot can kill one). In groups they can be absolutely maddening, because the two areas you face them in have jagged walls that hinder your ability to maneuver. Rapid uncharged shots are the best solution for a Bat swarm. You should generally avoid using spells on them.

When killed, the bat explodes, leaving no corpse.

They appear only in The Warrens and Hidden Caverns.

In The Catacomb Trilogy
The bat is exactly the same and appears throughout the game, first appearing in The Towne Cemetary.
