The Giant Bat is a Hardmode bat enemy that spawns in the Cavern layer. It can inflict the Confused debuff, causing the game controls to reverse. It can also inflict the Feral Bite debuff in Expert Mode. It appears much bigger than a normal Cave Bat.

Notes

• Once a world enters Hardmode, Giant Bats will almost entirely replace the once common Cave Bat, making the Chain Knife weapon much harder to obtain.

Trivia

The Bestiary entry for the Giant Bat: "The oversized cousins of Cave Bats, these bats are more dangerous and can confuse their enemies with their bite."
