 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. ####  Attachment not found

 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.

Description:
 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.
