Bats are a common enemy that appears in the Luigi's Mansion franchise. They first appeared in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, and then again in Luigi's Mansion 3.
Gold Bats[]
Gold Bats are rarer than regular bats and yield a much higher money reward when defeated than regular Bat enemies. Gold bats sometimes fly in a certain direction before disappearing.
Story[]
General Description[]
The Bat enemies, much like their real-life counterparts, hand from the ceiling. Bats are often seen in groups, and will attack by flying down from the ceiling. They can be defeated by either sucking them in using the Poltergust 5000 or using the Strobulb on them. Using the Strobulb on them can make them drop a bill, a heart, or nothing.
Abilities[]
Flight: Due to their wings, bats have the power of flight.
Speed: Bats are quite fast.
Bite (Luigi's Mansion 2: Dark Moon): Bats can bite Luigi, dealing 5 HP of damage.
Surround (Luigi's Mansion 3): Bats can surround Luigi as a group, preventing him from moving and causing him to take 5 HP of damage every 1.5 seconds. This can be prevented by using Burst. Despite what it seems, this technique can be performed by a single bat.
Luigi's Mansion 2: Dark Moon[]
In Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, the bats are no longer ghosts but rather actual animals. They attack and do five HP damage to Luigi if they see him. They can be hidden in furniture or windows after a curtain has been pulled.
Luigi's Mansion 3[]
Like in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, the bats are also real animals in Luigi's Mansion 3. Similarly to other games, the bats hang from ceilings until they are disturbed. These bats appear to have grey fur.

Trivia[]
- Like other non-ghost enemies, Bats are known to appear in the game's ScareScraper mode. In Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, they appear in the graveyard-esque room.
- Breaking a ball on the tenth floor in Luigi's Mansion 3 on the top of the pyramid will cause a swarm of golden bats to emerge.
