Foliage flyers of the underground jungle

Jungle Bats are aggressive subterranean flyers inhabiting the lush Underground Jungle. Swarming through dark floral caverns and underground beehives, they spot spelunkers from afar and swoop through the undergrowth. Equipped with 34 health and 4 defense, they are noticeably sturdier than standard cave bats and harass explorers relentlessly.

Surviving subterranean swarms and charting cavern depth

A Jungle Bat strike deals 20 contact damage in Classic and 40 in Expert, often knocking players into man-eater plants or pools of spikes. Defeating them offers the Depth Meter at a 1% rate, an essential navigation tool that displays current vertical elevation, alongside the Bat Bat at a 0.33% rate to steal health.

Trivia

  • Jungle Bats move faster and possess more health than standard cave bats.
  • The Depth Meter dropped by Jungle Bats is a foundational component of the Cell Phone.
