Skullbat
From TheKolWiki
 You're fighting a skullbatThis is pretty creepy -- it's a bat with a skull instead of a body. Most bats have skulls in addition to their body, but, y'know.
Hit Message(s):
It gazes a gazely stare deep into your soul with its empty, empty eyes. Eek! Ouch! Ooh! (spooky damage)
It headbutts you with its hard, bony skull. Y'know, unlike those soft, fleshy skulls you've heard about. Oof! Argh!
It scratches your <throat> with the pointy ends of its leathery wings. You wish it would have just winged you instead of hitting you dead on. Ooh! Ow!
It chomps on you with its bony teeth. Well, y'know, not really any bonier than normal teeth. Still hurts, though. Oof! Ugh!
Critical Hit Message:
It squeaks a deadly squeak, batters you with its wings, and batters you with its skull. You feel bewitched, bothered, and bewildered.Eek! Oof!
Miss Message(s):
It gazes deep into your soul, but your soul also gazes back at it. With even more gazely depth.
It tries to headbutt you, but you're just too hard-headed.
It tries to freak you out with its wings, but fortunately you're a wing nut.
It tries to chomp you with its bony teeth, but they fall out since the gums are missing.
Fumble Message:
It starts to butt you with its skull again, but its sonar gets jammed and it ends up ramming itself against a wall.
