A silly looking monster, probably not as silly as the Imp Trite.
There are a couple of issues with this:
  • There's a "replace" left in the first line of code that doesn't seem to replace anything.
  • The sound files have a weird chirp at the beginning. Here are them fixed.

Gothic thank you for fixing those sounds. The replaces thing was a leftover from testing that I didn't delete properly.

I have updated the submission - if people find the imp bat too adorable there is now the option to use the original giant bat sprites too. Here is the updated submission.

    A giant bloodthirsty bat. Swoops towards player to attack like a lost soul.
    Can sometimes be found sleeping on the ceiling. Will wake up and attack when
    the player gets close. Includes a variant with an Imp's head straight out
    of Hell.
