Bat (ghost)

Bats are a type of ghost which appear in Luigi's Mansion and its Nintendo 3DS version. They would later be replaced by living bats in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon.

Profile

Physical description

Bats are either purple or yellow in color. Aside from this, they do not bear much physical difference to generic bats.

Behavior

Like Mice, Bats are generally only found in hallways and around staircases and lack any Health Meter, meaning that Luigi can instantly vacuum a Bat up into his Poltergust 3000. They can also be instantly defeated from ice-, fire-, or water-elemental attack as well. If a Bat hits Luigi, he takes five HP of damage, although the Bat ends up defeating itself in the process.

Purple and yellow Bats each have some difference in behavior. A purple Bat swoops down at Luigi whenever he approaches it, whereas a yellow Bat only attacks if Luigi turns on his Poltergust 3000 near it.
