Gameplay

They cannot really be interacted with and serve only for immersion purposes. It is possible to kill bats by hitting them with a weapon of choice, but they do not drop anything.

Bats are used often to "spook" players by appearing suddenly and squeaking as they fly past. They flee from certain cave entrances upon approach, but they also fly by in certain designated spots inside the caves, as well as roosting in clusters on the ceiling. Because of their fleeing from cave entrances, they are a very useful indicator when searching for new caves. Their sound can be confused with that of a distant Virginia or other cannibals. When they are attached to the cave ceilings they can be lit on fire with the hairspray and serve as a temporary light source
