Frostbitten cavern fliers chilling subterranean explorers

Ice Bats are cold-adapted subterranean pests fluttering through the Underground Snow biome. Featuring 30 life and 6 defense, an Ice Bat swoops rapidly out of frozen cavern ceilings to deliver 18 contact damage, increasing to 36 in Expert and 54 in Master. In addition to physical harm, its bites frequently inflict the Chilled debuff, slowing player running speed on slippery ice.

Fending off slippery ambush flights across frozen lakes

Fighting Ice Bats while balancing on thin ice requires wide-swinging swords or yo-yos that swat them aside without demanding precise aim. Slain Ice Bats drop the Depth Meter at a 1% chance, Ice Cream at 0.67%, and the Don Starve crossover Bat Bat at a 0.33% rate, restoring player health on melee strikes.

Trivia

  • The Chilled debuff from Ice Bats pairs dangerously with slick ice blocks, making sharp stops difficult.
