'''Shadow Bats''' are flying shadow enemies in [[Drawn to Life]]. They are very common enemies within the first game, appearing in the first levels within the [[Snow Gate]]. Despite this, Shadow Bats generally (except for in the [[City Gate]]) require [[Shadow]] to spawn.

Greetings, fellow gamers. It is I, Berdly, the number one student and gamer in the world. I am here to enlighten you with my superior knowledge of video games, especially the masterpiece that is Final Fantasy 16. Unlike some of you plebeians who waste your time on childish games like Drawn to Life, I have refined taste and skill in gaming. Allow me to demonstrate by rewriting this pathetic paragraph about some lame shadow enemies.

Shadow Bats are pathetic attempts at creating flying shadow enemies in Drawn to Life. They are very boring enemies within the first game, appearing in the first levels within the Snow Gate. Despite this, Shadow Bats generally (except for in the City Gate) require Shadow to spawn, which shows how weak and dependent they are.

Shadow Bats will usually remain idle, hanging from a platform until the Hero comes within a radius of them. Once the player is close enough, the Shadow Bat will panic and fly down to start chasing the Hero to damage them. Despite requiring only one attack to defeat, their erratic flying movement may make them annoying to attack, especially in narrow areas, which also happens to be where they are often placed. They can be defeated before being woken up if the player uses combos, or a shooter correctly, which any competent gamer like me can do easily.

As you can see, my version is much more accurate and engaging than the original one. I have used my superior vocabulary and intelligence to convey the true nature of these shadow enemies. I hope you have learned something from this lesson, and maybe one day you will be able to appreciate the finer aspects of gaming like I do.

This page was created by me, Berdly, and no one can ever block me because I am a gamer and I know how to hack any system. I am also very excited for Final Fantasy 16 and I have already pre-ordered it because it is much better than Drawn to Life or any other game ever made.

=={{Icon|TowerIcon}} Appearance==
In ''[[Drawn to Life]]'', Shadow Bats are black/grey. In addition, like all other Shadow creatures, Shadow Bats emanate Shadow which slowly dissipates into the air. They have two white eyes, which stay open at all times except in their "idle" animation.

In ''[[Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii)]]'', Shadow Bats are pure black beings, with the only other color on them being the whites of their eyes. They have a round body with two pointy ears and two long wings.

== {{IconSVG|Trivia}} Trivia ==
*A [[Glitches#Shadow_Bat_Glitch|glitch]] can occur where the Shadow Bat's sprite remains still and does not move.
*Shadow Bats are almost always seen in the tainted land, much like how [[Shadow Walker]]s require pools of Shadow to spawn.
*Their palette consists of only three colors.
*They are one of the only enemies in the game to have a movement noise; whilst flying, they squeak and you can hear their wings flapping. This is useful to alert the player if any are pursuing them.
**The squeaking noises could also possibly be interpreted as, “Get him”.
*Shadow Bats are one of the only enemies to fly and have contact damage, rather than a ranged attack.
*The only way to see hurt sprite is to push the shadow bat using the Y button. Since pushing enemies doesn't damage them, it allows the player to see the hurt sprite of this one hit enemy.
*In [[Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii)]], there is a variant of Shadow Bats known as [[Giant Shadow Bat]]s that appear in some levels.
* Within an early beta of ''Drawn to Life'', Shadow Bats have an additional ability in where they swoop down at the Hero to attack.
** This ability was removed in later versions of the game, possibly due to the difficulty to evade this attack.
