Man-Bat

Man-Bats, also called Giant Bats, are thin, leathery winged creatures that hunt at night. In daylight they tend to sit still or hang from old ruins, but after dark they wake up and get much more aggressive. They like the old black stone ruins, and they also nest in caves, mines and forts.

You meet them early in Highroad Cave and western Limgrave, then in the Weeping Peninsula, Stormveil Castle, Liurnia of the Lakes, Stillwater Cave, the Ruin-Strewn Precipice and near Gowry’s Shack in Caelid. They also live in the Realm of Shadow, and they are often found together with Operatic Bats.

How to beat it

Man-Bats are frail, so a couple of hits usually does it. The annoying part is that they come at you from the air and in groups. Wait for them to swoop in, then strike, and deal with them before they can gang up on you. Visiting their spots in daylight makes them easier, since they are calmer then.

Lore

They usually keep company with the larger Operatic Bats, whose sad songs put the blame for their wretched state on Queen Marika.
