History[]
Shattered World Crisis[]
Act One[]
The Dark Bats were formed by Dark Gaia's energies shortly after the planet broke apart at the dawn of the Shattered World Crisis. Many Dark Bats reigned havoc across areas such as Westopolis and Meropis, though G.U.N. and part of the Freedom Fighters (alongside the Meropis City Guard) helped purge some of these cities from the Dark Gaia scum, respectively.[1][2][3]

Several Dark Bats would attack the Sky Patrol one night. Although most were destroyed by the Freedom Fighters, the rest would disappear with the emergence of the sun.[4] During nighttime on Isolated Island soon after, many more Dark Bats and other Dark Gaia Creatures attacked Miles "Tails" Prower and Big the Cat. However, after Dr. Ellidy regained control of his Badniks, they would drive the monsters away.[5]
Act Two[]
When Dark Gaia emerged, all remaining Dark Bats on the planet were drawn back into the massive creature.[6]
Powers and abilities[]
Dark Bats are capable of flight and can utilize Dark Gaia energy. Due to their small size, they are very weak.[1]
