Cave Bat

The Cave Bat is a common type of Bat found only in the Cavern layer. They are fairly small, and can be difficult to hit with certain weapons. One is to proceed with caution when entering caves early on, as the Cave Bat can pose a moderate threat when one is not prepared to deal with them. If a world is in Expert Mode, they can inflict the Feral Bite Debuff as well as dealing more damage, making them much more dangerous than those on a classic world. Like most other bats, they cannot enter water.

Tips

 * Players can easily farm for the Cave Bat's item drops if they have a Bat Statue. The bats spawned won't drop any coins, but they will still drop items if summoned with the statue, as long as they are not killed by lava or traps.
