Bats are flying creatures present in the Game Boy Color version of Rayman, the Sega Dreamcast version of Rayman 2, Rayman Revolution, the console and Game Boy Advance versions of Rayman 3, Rayman Raving Rabbids and Rayman Legends.

In the Game Boy Color version of Rayman

In this game, bats appear as enemies in Fiery Depths and Dark Legacy. They do nothing but patrol in a limited area, often in pairs.

Bats carrying rings can also be found. When Rayman grabs onto, they go and stay up. When he lets go, they go down. They can also hurt him.

In the web demo of the game, bats briefly appear in Spellbound Forest. Two bats are displayed in the instructions and one is seen flying away when freed from a cage. The demo refers to them as friends of Rayman, and freeing them ends the demo.

In the Dreamcast version of Rayman 2

In this version of Rayman 2, bats are more common; however, they are no longer enemies, and serve merely as background elements. When Rayman approaches them, they take flight and flutter towards the screen, then disappear. Rayman cannot kill them in this version.

In Rayman Revolution

Bats are most abundant in the Tomb of the Ancients. They fly quickly and prove difficult to hit, which counters their lack of resistance – they can be killed in a single shot. They can also be found in the Ray-Type Challenge, along with piranhas, Robo-Pirate missiles, Boss Chenilles and Foutch.

In Rayman 2 Forever

In the Game Boy Color version of Rayman 2, bats appear as enemies in the Marshes of Awakening, the Echoing Caves, the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava and the Tomb of the Ancients.

Their appearance and behavior are identical to those of the Game Boy Color version of Rayman.

In Rayman 3

Bats are seen as background characters in various levels of the game, but Rayman cannot interact with them. They also appear in the cinematic after the battle against Razoff in the Bog of Murk, where they have red glowing eyes.

In the Game Boy Advance version of Rayman 3, bats also appear, but merely as background characters.

In Rayman Raving Rabbids

Bats play a much larger role in Rayman Raving Rabbids than in any other game; they appear in two minigames, Bunnies Don't Like Bats part 1 and 2. By whacking the bat with a spatula makes it accelerate and it can also pick up pigs to put in pens. In part two, Rabbids start stealing the pigs so the player has to pluck them out of the Rabbid's hands. They appear orange in this game and are big enough for Rayman to ride.

In Rayman Legends and Rayman Adventures

Bats make in appearance in Teensies In Trouble, the first world in Rayman Legends.
