The Bats are encountered often during Lara's adventures. They were the first enemies ever encountered in the games; in the original Tomb Raider. Up until now there have been bats in all the Tomb Raider Games, except for Tomb Raider II and Tomb Raider Legend. In Tomb Raider III however they were harmless and only served as style element. Most often they appear as single enemies, except for Tomb Raider III and Tomb Raider Chronicles, where they appear as a flock.

Unlike humans or larger animals the bats disappear after they have been killed.

Bats appear for the first time in the Thailand level Remnants.
They return as enemies in the Croft Manor.

Strategy

Bats are relatively weak opponents and not much of a strategy is needed to fight them off. Make sure to spot them early and take them off with a few quick shots. They will often try to go for Lara's head, so rolling out of the way is a good idea.
