Bats have 3 methods of appearing:

* They can be regular enemies on the floor - their wings are folded and they are hanging from the ceiling. Approaching them makes them active, and they will attack the player from this point on.

* They can appear at random. The character will hear a bat screech and one will approach from a random direction from outside the floor.

* On some levels a colored fog will appear over the area. Multiple bats will start attacking from various directions.

==Strategy==

==Strategy==

Since bats may appear from different directions, simultaneously to one another and other monsters, they can get dangerous especially early game. The best weapon against bats is a regular sword swing (not a club or dagger), since its angle is large. Finding the right timing is easy for a single bat, but might be tricker for multiple fliers. One strategy is to move in a contrary direction to the bats so they are all on one side, and swing at them all at once.
