Warning red.pngREAD BEFORE EDITING:
  • Red-linked phrases should not be de-linked or pipe-linked if the phrase is from an official publication. Instead, please start an article or redirect at the link's target.
  • Technical info must be written in accordance with the consensus formats. Adding technical info without using these formats creates extra work for other editors and wastes everyone's time.
  • Trivia will be removed if it fails to meet the notability guidelines.
  • Do not source news to fansite translations of official publications or journals. Instead, source the publication or journal itself.
  • Based on the spelling used by the games, "Grey" is preferred over "Gray".
  • Entelechy is used here per its English definition, and is not meant to imply that it is an official term within the Kingdom Hearts franchise.
  • Do NOT add voice actors to a character's article UNLESS YOU HAVE A CLEAR SOURCE TO SUPPORT IT.

The Hook Bat's body is small and oval-shaped; short ears sprout out of the top of its head. Its eyes are small and glow yellow; its Heartless emblem is on its chest. Its mouth is jagged, and its large wings are attached to either of its sides, each sporting a silver spike close to the Heartless's head. The Hook Bat's body is blue, except for the tips of its ears and wings, which are navy blue. A short, silver chain connects the Heartless's body to a large, red hook with a yellow base.

==Attacks==
*'''Hook Somersault''': Loop-the-loop attack
*'''Ultrasonic Attack''': Releases ultrasonic waves


==Strategy==
==Strategy==
The Hook Bat has little HP and is easily defeated by air combos, though it may evade Sora's strikes by flying. They are easily defeated by [[Magnet]] magic followed by another attack or basic cast of magic such as [[Thunder]] once they have been gathered.
It can be difficult and annoying to hit, since it mostly evades your strikes by simply flying. Using the [[Reaction Command]] allows [[Sora]] to grapple the hook on Hook Bat and swing wildly, damaging all foes in range. An alternate tactic is to cast [[Magnet]] to attract it and finish it with a strong spell.


Hook Bats normally fly around in the air, occasionally descending to use their '''Hook Somersault''' attack. If damaged, they will retaliate with '''Ultrasonic Attack'''. Their counterattack is more powerful and cannot be blocked, so it is recommended to avoid any interruptions when combo attacking them.
==Trivia==
 
*The North American Journal entry for the Hook Bat in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' labels its Reaction Command as "Bat Battery". In gameplay and in all other English versions of the game, this is instead labeled as "Bat Cry".
Using the '''Bat Cry''' [[Reaction Command]] allows Sora to grapple the hook on Hook Bat and swing wildly, damaging all foes in range. Hook Bats generally appear in swarms rather than alone, making it easier to swiftly transition from one Reaction Command to another. As such, when Hook Bats appear alongside other enemies it may be advantageous to defeat Hook Bats last in order to deal more damage to surrounding enemies by getting more use out of the '''Bat Cry''' Reaction Command.
