Not to be confused with the 2020 version.

Description

The Bat was a zombie that appeared exclusively in Nightmare Carnival as part of the Halloween 2019 Event. They spawn after a Vampire is killed. They are also independently spawned by the Jack O' Bot. They are quite fast (faster than the Vampire and Ghost) while having quite high health.

They take the appearance of a regular bat. As they are flying, they cannot be hit by collisions from units, like Tanks from the Military Base. They are also hidden, so cannot be targeted by towers without hidden detection.

Strategy

• Military Base vehicles (like the Humvee 3) and SWAT Van (from the Enforcer) are useless against Bats, as they cannot target or collide with the Bat.
  • The Crook Boss minions are also useless against Bats, as they cannot detect them.
• Due to their high speed, the Pyromancer is recommended to slow them down, as long as it has hidden detection.
• If a Vampire with low health is reaching the end of the map, try not to kill it as it will turn into a Bat, reducing the game health further.

Trivia

• This was the first zombie to be immune to collisions, tied with the Witch, though the Bat is immune from collision by all units, while the Witch is only immune from collision by the Tank and Railgun Tank.
  • This is the second zombie to fly, after the UFO and tied with the Witch.
• The Bat was based on R2D's Cavebat.
• The Bat also appears on the Hunter's Halloween skin.
• Interestingly enough, the Freezer's Ice Age can freeze Bats, even though the ability appears on the ground.
• Admins cant spawn this enemy anymore as the 2020 version has replaced it.
