The Bombat is an enemy that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a mass-produced, bat-based Badnik created by Dr. Eggman and utilized by Eggman Nega.
Description[]
Bombats are blue-colored robots that resemble bats. They are usually seen carrying bombs, which they drop upon being destroyed.
Overview[]
The Bombats make their only appearance in Sonic Rivals 2, where they can be found as enemies in Sunset Forest Zone, Mystic Haunt Zone, and Chaotic Inferno Zone. Usually, the Bombats can be seen flying in the air at one place, where they do not have any direct offensive weapons to attack the player with. However, when they are destroyed, bombs will spawn from their bodies and drop down to the ground, exploding on contact and hurting the player if they are near them.
They are prominently featured in the battle against the Egg Crawler in Sunset Forest Zone where their abilities are an important part of the strategy for defeating the boss more quickly. The Bombat is also displayed as one of the game's collectible cards which can be obtained by scoring an S rank in Mystic Haunt Zone Act 3.
