Some foul new disease has taken hold in this land and the carrion bats are near the heart of it. Since returning to Tristram, I have seen their numbers surge. The evil forces that linger here give them strength, and I fear that the worst is yet to come.

— Deckard Cain

The Carrion Bat is one of the most numerous enemies in the game. They possess low life and attack at melee range with little damage but what they lack in physical capabilities they make up in numbers. Never found alone and often mass produced by multiple Carrion Nest nearby, they can overwhelm parties quickly unless action is taken. They are also Flying, allowing them to ambush across obstacles and attack single targets with dozens of individuals amounting to serious damage. Skills with area damage turn these menaces into a non-issue and as such it is seldom heard that players die to them. Elite variants still follow standard Elite pack mechanics and as such are one of the weaker Elite types in the game however their Flying ability can make them annoying.
