Golbat is a fictional large blue bat that originated from the Pokémon universe. It evolves from Zubat and into Crobat.
Biology[]
Golbat appears as a large, blue bat with purple wing membranes. It has small eyes in a somewhat angry expression and slit pupils, similar to a domestic cat, alongside two small ears with purple insides and a huge, gaping maw with four canine teeth, the canine teeth on female Golbat are smaller than the ones on male Golbat. While its mouth does look like an empty, black void, Golbat does sometimes display a long, purple tongue. Its legs are short with long, tiny feet. Despite this, it can walk perfectly fine on the ground.
Golbat's canine teeth have hollow, straw-like tubes that they use to suck the blood of their prey. While they're strong enough to penetrate thick hide, they're very fragile. Some Golbat have missing and/or broken canine teeth as a result of trying to pierce through the skin of Steel-type pokémon. It drinks the blood of both pokémon and humans and can drink up to 10 fl oz (300 mL) of blood in a single sitting. It drinks so much blood that its blood type will change into the same that its victim has. Golbat is also gluttonous, occasionally gorging itself to the extent that it becomes too heavy to fly, leaving itself vulnerable to attack. Golbat also shares gathered blood with other members of its species that are hungry. Golbat is a nocturnal animal and can easily be spotted in caves.
