Monastery Bat
Level 15 Wildlife · The Abandoned Monastery
Monastery Bat is one of the wildlife threats a player meets in Desperados Destiny, sitting at level 15.
Field notes
Cave bats nesting in the collapsed nave. Disturbing the roost triggers a swarm that applies Disoriented to anyone caught in the cloud.
What you are walking into
Monastery Bat is level 15, carries 135 health, and is classed Stalker. That makes it a mid-game threat that expects a built character. It fights by attrition — damage that keeps working after the hand is played, so a long fight favours it rather than you. Every exchange resolves through the Destiny Deck: you draw five cards, choose what to hold, and the resulting poker hand decides how the action lands. Suit matches amplify the result, so the same fight against Monastery Bat plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find Monastery Bat
Monastery Bat is encountered at The Abandoned Monastery. You will need to have discovered and travelled to that location before it can appear as a target, and travel between regions carries its own risks — routes are rolled for interception, and a bad roll puts an encounter between you and your destination. The full entry for The Abandoned Monastery covers what else is there.
What it drops
A kill pays 180 experience and between $6 and $15. Its loot table can yield Animal Bones and Bat Wing. Drops are rolled per kill, so a full set takes repeat hunting. The first time you kill any species it is also recorded in your Field Guide, which pays a large one-off experience bonus and counts toward the Guide's completion milestones.
