Snow Bat
The Snow Bat is a foe and a summon in Epic Battle Fantasy 5. It is typically found in cold areas, such as the Ice Cave by Hope Harbor.
Appearance
The Snow Bat is a white, furry bat with closed eyes; according to its bestiary description, it is blind. It has a small, pig-like snout that is the same shade of pink as the inside of its ears.
The Snow Bat has three variants, which can be distinguished by the shape of their ears.
- Medium-sized, teardrop-shaped ears.
- Large, pointed ears that flare out to the sides.
- Small, oval ears with rounded tips.
Overview
The Snow Bat is a low-tier foe with a modest assortment of Ice and Wind attacks. It is capable of debuffing Magic Defence as well as inflicting Light (and Confuse on harder difficulties), but overall is a relatively insignificant foe; even its above-average Evade will barely prolong the inevitable in most cases.
The Snow Bat is weak to Thunder, but resists Holy and is immune to both Ice and Earth. Additionally, it is notably vulnerable to Stun, Weaken and Tired. "More Foe Resistance" makes it immune to Holy and Water and resistant to Wind while enabling it to absorb Ice.

Battle Logic
The following describes general logic of the enemy and attack patterns, with chances of each attack to be used. Conditions are listed from highest to lowest priority unless specified otherwise.
Action
- If Syphoned or Berserked, catch score >55, and all players are Lovable → Nothing;
- If Syphoned or Berserked → Wing Flap (1/2), Drop Icicle (1/2);
- If catch score >55 and all players are Lovable → Swift Flight;
- Otherwise → Wing Flap (1/4), Drop Icicle (1/4), Swift Flight (1/4), Whirlwind (1/4)
Counter (only if Counter-Attacking Foes is enabled)
- 25% → Drop Icicle.
Summon
The Snow Bat can be captured and used as a summon. When called upon, it gives Chill to the entire party, reducing the Bio damage they take for a while. Using this against foes with Water or Ice attacks is inadvisable.
