The Giant Bat is a winged mutation born deep within the heart of the West African nation of Nigeria. Various traits it is shown with indicate that it originated from a species of megabat, specifically from the flying fox variety, although its nose would have had to mutate tremendously for this to occur.
Background History[]
Initially, the creature only attacked farmers and cattle, likely indicating a carnivorous diet although other diets such as hematophagy are not unlikely, thereby leaving its exact diet unknown. When H.E.A.T showed up to take care of the daikaiju problem, the Bat was surprisingly ready for them and their trump card, Zilla Junior. After chasing the Bat into a nearby city, they became consumed by the heat of their battle. The Giant Bat however escaped Zilla's wrath by using its high-frequency sonic screeches, though a prior immersion in water had severely weakened its radar capabilities. Before long the two kaiju returned to battle and while Zilla was temporarily stuck in a bridge, the Tachyons took the opportunity to gain control over the Bat's mind, guiding him back to Site Omega. H.E.A.T followed its trail and managed to foul the Bat's radar with their own, leading to him attacking Cryptocleidus. However, the alien invaders eventually regained control over the Giant Bat and both he and Cryptocleidus came ashore to Site Omega.
Later on, the Tachyons ordered the Bat and King Cobra to attack Paris, though while there they managed to somehow break free of the aliens' control. The Giant Bat chose to return to Site Omega, where it began attacking the alien fleet. In response to this, the aliens brought forth Cyber-Zilla to act in their defense. Although the two did battle, Cyber-Zilla was more than a match for the Bat and it was knocked unconscious. It was then restrained and left on Site Omega, which would later be renamed as Monster Island.
A few months later, the organization S.C.A.L.E succeeded in freeing the kaiju of Monster Island, including the Giant Bat. The creature faced a few of his fellow monsters before eventually being recaptured and returned to the island.
In an alternate future where the D.R.A.G.M.A's overtook Earth, the Giant Bat was killed along with the other Monster Island kaiju.
