Giant Bat

The Giant Bat is a Hardmode Bat enemy that spawns in the cavern layer. It can inflict the Confused debuff, causing the left and right game controls to reverse.

Trivia

 * The Giant Bat's ability to "confuse" players may be a reference to the Pokemon franchise, in which the Zubat is notorious for confusing the players' Pokemon. Some compare it to Golbat, the evolved form of Zubat, due to its size.

Tips

 * While fighting the Giant Bat it's recommended to use any melee weapons with a long reach. Using top tier spears can also be effective, killing the bat with two attacks, but it's very hard to aim. Using any ranged weapons is inadvisable due to Giant Bat's fast speed and irregular movement
