Fiery pests of the underworld expanse
Hellbats are agile flying beasts that flutter across the molten caverns of the Underworld. Swarming above boiling lava lakes and through ruined obsidian structures, they pursue players relentlessly through subterranean airspaces. Possessing 46 health and 8 defense, their small hitboxes make them difficult to target with slow projectiles.
Protecting bridge construction and looting magma stones
A swooping Hellbat inflicts 35 contact damage in Classic and 70 in Expert, frequently knocking explorers into open lava pools while building bridges. Slaying them offers the Magma Stone at a 0.67% rate, which infuses melee strikes with fire, alongside the Bat Bat club at a 0.33% chance to drain health from foes.
Trivia
- Hellbats are immune to the On Fire! debuff and lava damage.
- Their erratic flight path makes wide-swinging swords like the Fiery Greatsword ideal for clearing them.
