Luminescent cavern fliers fluttering through glowing mushroom groves

The Spore Bat is a glowing blue bat variant found fluttering through subterranean Glowing Mushroom biomes. Built with 16 health and 2 defense, it deals 13 contact damage, increasing to 26 in Expert and 39 in Master. Its body emits a faint blue radiance that cuts through dark cavern corridors, alerting miners as it swoops downward.

Harvesting shroomerangs from fungal underground caverns

Due to its erratic flight patterns between glowing mushroom stalks, using wide-arcing melee blades or auto-aiming magic homing spells neutralizes Spore Bats before they bite. Slain Spore Bats drop the Depth Meter at a 1% chance, the Don Starve crossover Bat Bat at 0.33%, and the Shroomerang weapon at a 2.5% rate.

Trivia

  • Spore Bats illuminate their immediate surroundings with natural fungal luminescence in underground mushroom fields.
