Creatures Bat is a bat-like monster that is somewhat humanoid in form. They attack by hovering in the air for a while and then making swooping downwards or across attacks.

The Death Bat (Gobanz (ゴーバンス) in Japan), is the third boss of Castlevania: The Adventure. It is an amalgamation of a human, a bat, a bird or pterosaur, and a skeleton. It also resembles a Slogra with wings. In the American and European manuals, Gobanz is not called a boss, and his name was used in Zeldo. Death Bat is a mistranslation of the Death Bird enemy.

A man-bat like creature (called a Gargoyle by Nintendo Power, but shown to be a bat creature by the All About Akumajo Dracula guide) appeared in Super Castlevania IV. It was extremely easy to kill, but could distract one enough to hit some instant death spikes on the walls or ground.

The Creatures Bat that appeared in Castlevania: Legends attacked somewhat similar to the Death Bat, but didn't have bird or skeletal features. Its arms are also integrated into its wings.

The first boss in Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth is a blend of the original Death Bat and the Phantom Bat. It lost most of its non-bat characteristics and turns into a swarm of bats when it is struck). It maintained the original Death Bat's protruding rib cage though and is likewise viewed from the side. It attacks with horizontal swoops at different elevations.

Dracula's classic second forms also resembles a creature bat in many games. Many ladies have appeared with bat wings as well, but they retain their beautiful human faces. The versions from Castlevania: Circle of the Moon are the only ones that attack similarly to the Creatures Bats.
