What’s a Shadow Bat?

Shadow Bats appear in Chapter 18, The Catacombs, and are just one of the many deadly enchantments the evil Ring Dragon in Ring Dragonz has left for any intruders to discover.

Looking like any typical vampire bat from a distance, Shadow Bats, like their namesake suggests, are actually just shadows that flit and flap along the walls of the dragon’s lair.

As Sheshen explains, Shadow Bats will tear and shred any other shadow entering their chamber. Walsh, therefore, mistkenly concludes that these creatures (being only shadows) can do the boys no harm. Wrong, Walshy.

Drawing their required light from huge hanging candelabras, as the Shadow Bats rip through a shadow, so will the shadow’s owner (body) be likewise torn to pieces, too.

Ouch.
