'''Gloombats''' are neutral [[List of Entities|entities]] that appear in [[The Mines]]. They won't directly attack the [[player]] unless they are provoked. 

== {{Icons|Overview}} Appearance ==
''Gloombats'' are a mix between a bat and a moth. They can have either a green, yellow, cyan, red, pink, white, blue and orange body, 6 small legs, and 2 big, body color-dependent glowing eyes; a mouth with sharp teeth and 2 fangs on the edges, a moth-like body with 2 antennae with multiple smaller antennae coming out like a leaf of some sort and 4 wings.

== {{Icons|Behavior}} Behavior ==
[[File:GloombatsVSBulklight.jpg|thumb|Multiple types of ''Gloombats''.]]
When a door is opened in [[The Mines]], there is a chance for ''Gloombats'' to spawn in the room. They are usually in a group of five or more and fly around The Mines. They hate lights, and will viciously swarm around them to try and disable or break them as soon as possible. As such, most rooms that they spawn in will be dark. If any [[player]] uses any type of light source (other than [[glowstick]]s and [[Laser Pointer|laser pointers]]) near them, they will attack the player until the light source is gone or the user dies. There are a few ways to get rid of the ''Gloombats,'' such as waiting for a door to be illuminated by [[Guiding Light]], since the blue light it emits usually makes them go away, or try to make them backtrack into a room with [[Figure]] for it to eat them. 

=== Notes ===
*''Gloombats'' can spawn as early as door 105.
*If the door to the next room emits odd chewing sounds, it means that the ''Gloombats'' will spawn upon opening the door.
*''Gloombats'' will not harm any players who are not using an active source of light.
**As long as [[Flashlight]]s, [[Lighter]]s or any sources equipped by the Player is off, they will not be attacked by ''Gloombats''.
***Contrary to popular belief, an active [[Straplight]] is not needed to use a [[Crucifix]] on them, as it is possible to hold a light source and quickly switch to the Crucifix once they are coming to deal damage.
**[[Glowstick]]s can be used as a temporary light source; as the ''Gloombats'' will only attack the Glowstick instead of the Player.
*''Gloombats'' will not attack players just for being near or within light sources.
*Even when hiding, ''Gloombats'' can still attack you if you have an active Straplight. This may be due to their small sizes, along with lockers having open spaces they could fit to.
*''Gloombats'' can be discerned by their loud, metallic-like buzzing.
*''Gloombats'' might shatter the lights before they flicker as a warning to [[Rush]]'s arrival.
*If stepped on, the eggs will emit light for some time that can help players to navigate in the dark.
*''Gloombats'' will follow the players into the next room(s) as long as they sense any source of light. [[Player]]s can use their light sources when they can no longer hear the ''Gloombats''' buzzing or if they are to far away.
*During the [[2024 Trick Or Treat Event]], ''Gloombats'' can be summoned in [[Hotel|The Hotel]] by eating the "Infested" [[candy]].
*If ''Gloombats'' spawn in The Hotel, they will not be able to break any light sources generated by a room (e.g., a fire, room lights).
*The ''Gloombats'' also resemble the colours of the [[glowstick]]s.
*''Gloombats'' have a chance to open the next door by themselves.
*''Gloombats'' won't attack any players who are glowing by/from [[Status Effects|Starlit]], the "Glowing" [[Candy]] with the "Trick Or Treat" [[Modifiers|Modifier]], or the event "Shine Bright" with the [[Stream Integration|CHAT CONTROL]] Modifier.

'''Gloombat Eggs''' are a hazard in [[The Mines]].

=={{Icons|Overview}}Appearance==
''Gloombat Eggs'' have a slimy appearance; they appear as various assortments of eggs embedded into the ground.

=={{Icons|Behavior}}Behavior==
If a large egg is stepped on, a ''Gloombat'' will hatch and bite the player, causing them to lose 5 health and the eggs to glow in the dark. The hatched ''Gloombat'' behaves as a normal ''Gloombat''.

== {{Icons|Trivia}}Trivia ==
*Gloombat eggs are translucent, and an under-development Gloombat can be seen inside the larger hazardous ones.
*Gloombat eggs cannot be broken by pointing light sources or throwing Glowsticks them.
* The hatched ''Gloombat'''s color is the same color of its egg.
*When standing near the eggs a heartbeat can be heard.

== Bugs ==

* If a player has faulty internet and enters a room with ''Gloombats,'' they can be seen in a cluster in the center of the room with no animation for a second.
* ''Gloombats'' still break the lights even with the "Electrical Work" modifier enabled.

== {{Icons|Trivia}} Trivia ==
*''Gloombats'' were first revealed in the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BReqL3E5f4 Floor 2 teaser].
*''Gloombats'' had their model leaked in the past.
**There have been leaks in which Gloombat eggs can spawn on rocks, but these leaks are unofficial and could be fake.
*The ''Gloombats'' were formerly referred to as ''Batmoths'' due to their filename originally being leaked as such, as well as their appearance being like a bat and a moth combined.
*''Gloombats'' currently have the most UGC out of any other entity.
*The ''Gloombats'' can attack in combination other entities, such as [[Eyes]], [[Screech]], [[Giggle]] and [[Rush]].
*If the player get killed by ''Gloombats'', their corpse would have multiple mini eggs scattered all over their body.
*The ''Gloombats'' are able to appear in flooded rooms and dive underwater.
*''Gloombats'' are one of the entities which alter players body upon death, with it filling their corpse with eggs. Others being Seek, Grumble, Figure and Eyes.
*Their [[Crucifix]] animation is unique compared other entities; when activated, the Crucifix creates several chains that reach out and attach to each ''Gloombat'', and then pull them all into an orb before starting the usual banishment animation.
**This is most likely because there are too many ''Gloombats'' to restrain via normal means, so they must all be together.
*The text for the achievement "I Don't Believe My Eyes" is a reference to the line "You would not believe your eyes, if ten million fireflies..." from the Owl City song "Fireflies" (First sentence) , the description of the same achievement "Dude, I swear there were like... ten million of them!" could also be a reference to this.
**Additionally, the text for the ''"''Bug Bomb" achievement is likely a reference to the saying "Pop Goes the Weasel".
*The ''Gloombats'', like [[Grumble]]s, are the only entities capable of reproducing; in their case, through eggs.
*The ''Gloombats'' are passive towards players emitting no source of light from an item, as seen that they can touch the player without causing any type of harm.
*The ''Gloombats'' seem to sound more like flies, rather than bats or moths.
*When the "Infested" candy spawns ''Gloombats'' a distant roar is heard, indicating that it may belong to them.
*Deploying a [[Glowstick]] on the ground will make the ''Gloombats'' physically push it and attempt to destroy it which results in being turned off.
*''Gloombats'' can have different eye colors, but the most common seems to be green.
**''Gloombat'' eggs, when stepped on, hatch a ''Gloombat'' with eyes that are the same color as the egg.
**The colors of the eyes can be green, orange, blue, cyan, pink, red, yellow and white. Green is the most common out of all of them.
*[[Figure]] will eat any ''Gloombat'' on contact.
**It's assumed that Figure does this because the ''Gloombats'' is trying to attack it due to the light emitted by its blisters and mouth.
*One of [[El Goblino]]'s dialogue states that he sometimes tries to catch ''Gloombats'' to eat, but often fails due to his small size, comparing the task to hunting a bear.
*Another dialogue states that the ''Gloombats'' are very tasty to eat.
**However, considering how El Goblino is a goblin, it's likely that this isn't applicable to the player's taste.
