The Bat, also known as Pot Bat (壺こうもり, Tsubo Kōmori), is a recurring enemy in the Metal Slug series.

Information

These bats live in dark places like old temples and ruins. They are always found in numbers and aren't much of a threat. However, some bats carry bombs or jars with dangerous liquids and drop them onto their enemies.

Bats are playable in Metal Slug Defense and Metal Slug Attack in which they use jars of explosive poison. Units such as the Vampires use bats as their main attack. Golden bats appear as event points in Metal Slug Defense and as equippable items for specific units in Metal Slug Attack.
