Dire bats are monsters who appear in Sangvesti upon completion of The Blood Moon Rises. After successfully damaging the player, they will move at running speed for 16 ticks (9.6s). Though their max hit is low, their attacks are highly accurate and capable of hitting through Protect from Melee, and may additionally inflict disease hitsplats alongside normal damage, lowering the player's stats.

Despite being called a bat, these monsters do not count towards a Bats slayer task.

Trivia

  • The dire bat's use of the disease status effect was the first monster to do so since the fever spider was added to the game 7,547 days (20 years, 8 months) prior.
