Battle Bat

are enemies in. They are summoned by the Grim Creeper during his mini-boss battle to attack Link in swarms. They are also known as Keese in certain regions of Hyrule.

Characteristics
Battle Bats are summoned in flocks of six by the Grim Creeper during his mini-boss battle, which are then sent to attack Link by diving at him. Unlike ordinary Keese, which fly close to the ground, Battle Bats fly at a higher altitude and can only be attacked as they swoop down. If any of the Battle Bats pass by Link, the Grim Creeper will again summon another six. To emerge victorious, Link must defeat all six Bats at once as they fly down at him, otherwise the Grim Creeper will continuously summon more. The Bats can be dispelled by any weapon in Link's arsenal; the most effective being the Sword. After they are all defeated, the Grim Creeper swears he will have revenge over the deaths of his brothers before fleeing.

A pair of Battle Bats also appear alongside the Grim Creeper on top of the Eagle Tower. These Bats fly away when the Evil Eagle arrives.
