They Bats have a variety of abilities, which range from knock-back, recovery, damage, and a concussion, making it potentially compatible with any skill-set a bat can use.

You can cure Giant Bat form by buying an Un-Bat Juice from [[Harry the Wolf]] for 4500 councils. You can cure Fevered Trismus by using Treat Disease 1, a level 15 [[First Aid]] ability, which requires a basic first aid kit or better to use.=== Training ===* Levels 51-60 along with 61-70 can be unlocked by talking to [[Yavazek]].* [[Noita the Green]] unlocks 71-80.* Levels 81-90 are unlocked by [[Big Footed Jim]] deep beneath [[Povus]].

Levels 51-60 can be unlocked by talking to [[Yavazek]]=== In-Game Description ===

Another bat player (who must be at least level 8) can repeatedly use Virulent Bite on you for a chance to give the Fevered Trismus disease which will change you into a bat after two hoursof logged-in real time. During the Halloween event, one may also be bitten by an enemy bat's rage attack for Fevered Trismus. Finally, enemy bats on the lower levels of the [[Labyrinth]] dungeon or [[Gazluk Keep]] dungeons can inflict Fevered Trismus on players.

==Abilities== 2023 Special Event ====Until July 20, 2023, the [[Happy-Go-Lucky Bat]] (normally available only during Halloween) is temporarily located right outside of the north gate of [[Serbule]], by the bridge.

Click "Expand" == Trivia ==When using Virulent Bite to infect other players, you can see a red particle effect on the box below infected player. If you are trying but repeatedly failing to view infect another player, it may be because their armor is too strong for you to land a complete list of Abilities for the Giant Bat skillhit. In that case, ask them to unequip their armor and then try again.{{:Giant Bat Abilities}}

== Mechanics =====NPC Communication===Like with other "creepy" [[Beast Forms|Beast Forms]] such as the [[Lycanthropy|Wolf]] and [[Spider (Skill)|Spider]], even less NPCs will talk to you than most animals. Before changing into a bat, it is recommended that you be an experienced player. (Unless you're up for a challenge!)===Flight===Immediately, a bat is able to permanently fly, which being faster than sprinting, makes transportation somewhat easier. However, flying does drain power. ===Night-vision=== Bats get Echolocation, which may possibly make seeing at night much easier.[[Category:Skills]][[Category:Beast Skills]][[Category:Beast Forms]]
