The Hookbat is a Pre-Hardmode enemy that spawns on the surface during the night. While the The First Adventure quest is active, it spawns much more commonly, and always drops the Durasilk Sheaf upon death. It will fly above the player and occasionally dash towards them in order to deal contact damage. It will only dash if it close enough to the player. Only one Hookbat can exist at a time.

It is one of the few entities that can be detected by the Lifeform Analyzer or its upgrades.

Trivia

• The Bestiary entry for the Hookbat: "These simple thieving pests decided 'divide and conquer' was a solid strategy after stealing the adventurer's cloth."
