'''Shadow Bats''' are flying shadow enemies in [[Drawn to Life]]. They are very common enemies within the first game, appearing in the first levels within the [[Snow Gate]]. Despite this, Shadow Bats generally (except for in the [[City Gate]]) require [[Shadow|tainted land]] to spawn.

'''Shadow Bats''' are flying [[Shadow]] enemies in both the original ''[[Drawn to Life]]'' and ''[[Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii)]]''. They are uncommon enemies in both games, only regularly appearing in two out of the four gates in each game.

Shadow Bats will usually remain idle, hanging from a platform until the [[Hero]] comes within a radius of them. Once the player is close enough, the Shadow Bat will notice them and fly down to start pursuing  the [[Hero]] to damage them. Despite requiring only one attack to defeat, their sporadic flying movement may make them difficult to attack, especially in narrow areas, which also happens to be where they are often found.  They can be defeated before being woken up if the player uses [[combos]], or a shooter correctly.

In ''Drawn to Life'', Shadow Bats will usually remain idle, hanging from a platform until the [[Hero]] comes within a radius of them. Once they are close enough, the Shadow Bat will detach from the platform and pursue the Hero. They only take one hit to defeat, but can be annoying due to the narrow areas they appear in.

Being composed of [[Shadow]], Shadow Bats are black/grey. In addition, like all other Shadow creatures, Shadow Bats emanate [[Shadow]] which slowly dissipates into the air. They have two white eyes, which stay open at all times except in their "idle" animation.

Shadow Bats are flying Shadow enemies in both the original Drawn to Life and Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii). They are uncommon enemies in both games, only regularly appearing in two out of the four gates in each game.

In Drawn to Life, Shadow Bats will usually remain idle, hanging from a platform until the Hero comes within a radius of them. Once they are close enough, the Shadow Bat will detach from the platform and pursue the Hero. They only take one hit to defeat, but can be annoying due to the narrow areas they appear in.

In Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii), they spawn already flying and will track down the Hero when they get close. Again, they can be defeated in a single hit, though the open nature of the level makes them easier to attack and avoid.

TowerIcon.png Appearance[edit]

In Drawn to Life, Shadow Bats are black with a grey outline and two beady, white eyes. In addition, like all other Shadow creatures, Shadow Bats emit Shadow which slowly dissipates into the air.

In Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii), Shadow Bats are lose their grey outline and stop emitting Shadow, but are otherwise the same.
