Batfly

"'Catch and eat them'"Bats are passive creatures in Rain World. They are not harmful and are the slugcat's main source of food.

Properties of bats

 * Reliably found in high places, where hostile creatures are likely to attack you.
 * Can not be stored in a den for later consumption.
 * Can be fed to certain carnivorous hostile creatures, these will subsequently stop chasing you for a short period of time.


 * Can be hunted by throwing rubbish or spears at them.
 * Found in rooms with white tipped plants, that they can burrow into. If a bat lands on a white tipped plant, it will come out of a different white tipped plant nearby to evade you or a predator.
 * If you go into a white tipped room and eat a large amount of bats, they will appear in a different room with white tipped plants the next day knowing that you might be there.


 * Will sometimes stack on other bats when hanging upside down.

Tips

 * Bats are easier to catch if you are above them -- they have a simple flight pattern and will hover in a single spot for a few seconds, which is the perfect time to pounce.
 * Bats are attracted to Batnip (red leafy plant), which can be used to bring more to an area if it is depleted of resources.
 * Bats can be used as a distraction to certain plants, such as the Pole Plant and the Monster Water Kelp, this can be done by catching the Bat quickly and throwing it into the firing line of the plant. This only works while the Bat is still alive.
