**Decibat** is a monster that resides in the Dark Ruins, and serves as the game's first mini-boss.

## Profile

### Appearance

Decibat is, as his name implies, a bat monster. He has four wings, two large ears, and fluff on his belly. The fluff creates an illusion of an opening mouth on his stomach, which is more visible in his battle sprite.

### Personality

Decibat is very sensitive to noises, which makes him take a general disliking toward the protagonist. It is also implied that he enjoys sleep. When speaking, they have a habit of rolling their Hs.

## In Battle

### Attacks

* **Wave Blue:** Decibat's first attack is a blue wave which can be avoided by not moving.
* **Wave Orange:** Decibat's second attack is an orange wave which can be avoided by moving. At this point, the player is introduced to the concept of blue and orange attacks in *Undertale Yellow* (if not previously familiar with it from *Undertale*).
* **Wave Multi:** Decibat sends large sound waves, which are either orange or blue, from all sides of the board except from the bottom, one at a time.
* **Wave Mini:** Small sound waves bounce around the board and change colors from orange to blue or vice versa each time they hit a border.
* **Stalagmite:** Small stalactites appear in a sequence at the top of the bullet board, then fall in the same order.

### Strategy

Decibat can be spared by either using the Watch ACT 5 times consecutively or annoying him by using Talk and Shoo ACTs 5 times until he leaves.

More of a Sentinel of Silence, right?
Funny history I have with those folk.
We all used to live on the top floor of UG Apartments north of here.
Our side of the hall wanted to be bold! High energy!
While the other preferred the deafening sound of silence.
We feuded over the SVL for weeks! The Standard Volume Level, that is.
Long story short, we all were kicked out, haha!
Gone our separate ways now, free to chase any comfort we choose.
I sometimes wonder what that bat got up to? Probably lives in some Snowdin cave.* - El Bailador, in Hotland
