Bat: ability choices and unlocks

The table connects Bat to its recorded abilities, grouped by combat slot. Open an ability to inspect its effects and other pets with the same move.

Recorded moveset for Bat. Levels refer to the pet.
Ability	Slot	Unlock level
Bite	Slot 1	1
Leech Life	Slot 1	10
Screech	Slot 2	2
Hawk Eye	Slot 2	15
Reckless Strike	Slot 3	4
Nocturnal Strike	Slot 3	20

Slot 1 pairs Bite (level 1) with Leech Life (level 10). These share a slot; a loadout cannot use both at once.
Slot 2 pairs Screech (level 2) with Hawk Eye (level 15). These share a slot; a loadout cannot use both at once.
Slot 3 pairs Reckless Strike (level 4) with Nocturnal Strike (level 20). These share a slot; a loadout cannot use both at once.

Before leveling this pet for a team, check which of these alternatives your plan needs. Compare its in-game health, power and speed with the requirements of the encounter. A matching ability name alone does not establish that two pets are interchangeable.

Where to Find It: Eastern Plaguelands

The game data places this pet in Eastern Plaguelands but records no spawn coordinates. Eastern Plaguelands is one of 3 zones listed for it. The gold pins are the zone's own landmarks from the game data, not this pet's spawn points.
