The Blood Bat is a foe in Adventure Story, Epic Battle Fantasy 4 and 5, and a summon in the latter. It is a fairly rare enemy in EBF4; outside of Battle Mountain, it only appears in the right battle on the triple bridge screen in the Crystal Caverns, and in two battles in Lankyroot Jungle's Lava Cave. In EBF5, it mainly appears in the Wild Tropics and the Mystic Woods.

Appearance

Like most Bats, the Blood Bat has a small round body with large ears, wings, and tiny feet. Unlike other Bats, it has shaggy red fur and sharp teeth, which it displays in a perpetual grin. In EBF5, it may spawn in with a ear bitten off.

Overview

Epic Battle Fantasy 4

The Blood Bat's signature attack allows it to drain HP to heal itself — coupled with its high Evade stat, it can be a bit of a pain to bring down. However, it is vulnerable to several elements — as well as the Stun and Tired ailments, both of which can greatly decrease its threat level.

Due to its Thunder weakness, Blood Bats can be effectively dealt with by Natalie's Thunder spells. Not only will they take extra damage, but the multiple hits of each spell can help mitigate the bats' high Evade.

When confronted in the Battle Mountain Enemy Marathon alongside the other members of the Bat family, the Blood Bat can be left for second or third — the party's primary target should be the Accuracy-lowering Coal Bat instead.

Counter (only if Counter-Attacking Foes is enabled)

Summon

In EBF5, the Blood Bat can be captured and used as a summon; it also has a chance to be called by the Pumpkin Head between turns. It uses its Vampiric Bite on the targeted foe, dealing mild physical damage with a partial Bio element; somehow, this also heals whoever summoned it for slightly more HP than the damage it inflicted.

The Blood Bat summon is basically the EBF5 equivalent to Life Drain, allowing its summoner to attack and heal simultaneously. However, its power is too low to be useful beyond the very early game, where the party won't have access to more effective healing skills.
