How to survive Gloombats
- Gloombats attack players using a light source near them; keep flashlights and lighters off around them.
- A Glowstick works as a temporary light source; Gloombats attack it instead of the player.
- Moonlight's blue light usually makes them go away.
- Odd chewing sounds behind the next door mean Gloombats will spawn when you open it.
- Stepping on a large Gloombat egg hatches a Gloombat that bites you for 5 health.

Where Gloombats appears
Gloombats guide
Gloombats are small, moth-and-bat hybrids that hate light, and they are the reason a flashlight can be a bad idea in The Mines. Added on August 30, 2024, they are classed as neutral: they leave you alone unless you carry an active light source near them. Then they swarm the player until the light is gone or the player is dead, at 10 to 14 damage per tick.
Spotting them
Odd chewing sounds behind the next door mean Gloombats will spawn when you open it. They come in groups of five or more, in colors such as green, yellow, cyan, red, pink and orange, and their metallic buzzing gives them away in the dark. Rooms where they appear usually end up dark, since they go after the lights.
Dealing with them
Switch your flashlight or lighter off. A Glowstick works as a decoy, because they attack it instead of you. Moonlight's blue glow usually makes them leave. Watch your step too: stepping on a large Gloombat egg hatches one that bites you for 5 health, though the egg gives off light for a while afterward.
