The Bat — In-Depth Analysis
The Bat is one of the five unkillable monsters of 99 Nights in the Forest, sitting alongside The Deer, The Owl, The Ram, and The Cat. There is no point planning a kill: its HP is listed as N/A (Unkillable), so every encounter is purely about survival and escape, not damage trading. It deals a sharp 35 per hit and, since it can fly, has no fixed walkspeed to outpace on the ground.
What sets the Bat apart is location. Unlike the other secondary monsters, it is confined to the Bat Cave and the Caverns, making it a deep-exploration threat rather than something that wanders into camp. It is also the entity the Shadow and Brute Cultists worship, so expect its presence to overlap with cultist activity underground. It was teased in the Deer is Hurt update (15 Nov 2025) and released in the Bat Entity/Cave update (22 Nov 2025).
Because you cannot kill it, treat the Bat as an environmental hazard. Carry light, know your exit, and never get cornered in the cave network. Grab what you came for and leave before that 35 damage stacks against an unbeatable foe.
