Bat

Bats are enemies that dwell in all of the cave areas of the game. In Crystal Caverns, one Bat guards the area containing the Brass Wire required to make Flame Retardant Clothing. Another three Bats roost in the cavern walled off by sand, which a hedgehog will dig through if given a banana, guarding the Magellan Birdwing. Bubble Cave has two Bats, which are on the path to the right of the cave entrance. Four Bats are scattered throughout Inferno Cave. 
Bats deal 1/2 damage. When the player is not nearby, they sleep on the ceilings of caves. If the player gets close enough to the Bat, it wakes up and flies down at the player. The Bat will continuously fly at the player, periodically doing damage, until the player runs far enough away from the Bat's roosting spot or the Bat is stunned using a rock. Stunning them can be difficult given their erratic movement, and barking or screeching will not work while they are flying. If the Bat is stunned, it will return to its default position before trying to chase the player again. 
There is a water pool in Inferno Cave that is partially within a Bat's range. The Bat cannot attack the player while they are drinking water, but they will stay near them in a Dangerous state and attack once they are finished. 
Unlike most enemies, Bats do not display a Safe status when they are retreating to their default location. For example, while returning to roost after being stunned, they still display as Stunned, or they will return to roost while Dangerous after chasing a player. This difference is predominantly cosmetic, however.
