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.* The level caps for 71-80 and 81-90 may be unlocked by gaining favor with a mysterious entity deep beneath [[Povus]].=== 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.

== Mechanics Trivia =====NPC Communication===Like with When using Virulent Bite to infect other "creepy" [[Beast Forms|Beast Forms]] such as the [[Lycanthropy|Wolf]] and [[Spider|Spider]]players, even less NPCs will talk to you than most animalscan see a red particle effect on the infected player. Before changing into a batIf you are trying but repeatedly failing to infect another player, it may be because their armor is recommended too strong for you to land a hit. In that you be an experienced playercase, ask them to unequip their armor and then try again. (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]]
