=== 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]].

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 hours of logged-in-game hoursreal 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. ==== Bonus2023 Special Event ====Until July 20, 2023, the [[Happy-Level CheckGo-List Lucky Bat]] (normally available only during Halloween) is temporarily located right outside of the north gate of [[Serbule]], by the bridge. He will transform players into a Giant Bat (and back) for free, along with offering training for Giant Bat skills. This can be used by any character, including newly made ones that just freshly arrived from [[Anagoge Island]] === Synergy Levels: ===The following (2 so far) Bonus [[Synergy Levels|bonus levels]] are for the [[Giant Bat]] can be obtained from the following skills and levels::; [[Animal Handling]]:: Level 46:; [[Bard]]:: Level 40:; [[Nature Appreciation]]:: Level 24: ; [[Necromancy ]]:: Level 27, and Level 45, and Level 55:; [[Survival Instincts ]]:: Level 5 ===Complete Ability List==={{:{{msg:BASEPAGENAME}}/Abilities}} == Mechanics ===== NPC Communication ===Like with other "creepy" [[Beast Forms|Beast Forms]] such as the [[Lycanthropy|Wolf]] and [[Spider|Spider]], even fewer NPCs will talk to you than to most animals. Additionally, some animals that normally talk to others animals will not talk to the Giant Bat (for example, [[Red]]). Before changing into a bat, it is recommended that you be an experienced player. (Unless you're up for a challenge!) '''Note''': If you were a [[Druid]] before becoming a Giant Bat and sufficiently high level (25 or higher) to transform into a deer (or bird), you can use that to interact with the NPCs who will talk to animals, but not bats.
