The Bat (コウモリ^[1], Kōmori^?) is a creature that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a race of bat Animals used for raising Chao.

Overview[]

In the gameplay of Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, Bats can alter the stats and appearance of a Chao. These animals are either found inside Badnik enemies or the second Chao Container opened in an Action Stage, or hiding somewhere in the Action Stages, usually inside Cages or Pipes. In the first case, the player simply needs to destroy the Badnik to release the Bat inside. When the Bats roam free, the player must touch them to pick them up. Also, when released from Badniks, the Bats will have a green sphere around them which disappears shortly afterwards. They are found in the following Hero story Action Stages:

• Pumpkin Hill
• Pyramid Cave
• Sand Ocean
• Lost Colony

Upon entering a Chao Garden with a Bat, it will leave the playable character and move around the garden. Should the player give a Bat to a Chao, the Chao will embrace it, changing its appearance and raising its stats according to the Bat's. The Bat will then disappear shortly after.
