Bats, specifically Vampire Bats are a basic enemy seen in many games from the Castlevania series. Bats have appeared in every single Castlevania game except for Castlevania: Curse of Darkness.
[edit] Overview
As a lesser enemy, bat's usually hang down from ceilings until a hero comes near. Once close enough, they'll swoop down and fly at them.
Other bats will fly from off the side of the screen, and go in a relatively straight path, moving up and down slightly as they go. On a rare occasion, they will fly in from an open window.
Bats are not nearly as quick and don't maneuver up and down as much as Medusa Heads, but can be quite annoying when in numbers.
[edit] Types
Aside from appearing as common enemies, bats also come in much larger and more fiercer versions as boss enemies, such as:
- Bat Company (Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow)
- Darkwing Bat (Castlevania: Symphony of the Night)
- Gargoyle Bat (Castlevania: Bloodlines)
- Phantom Bat
- Zapf Bat (Super Castlevania IV)
- Razor Bat (Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin)
...or as man/bat hybrids such as:
