🔥 Lava Bat

The Lava Bat is a flying monster in Stardew Valley that inhabits the lower levels of the Mines and the Skull Cavern. They are a fiery variant of the standard cave Bat and are significantly stronger, dealing more damage and having greater health. Lava Bats are fast and can swarm the player, making them a dangerous enemy if not handled quickly.

They are considered part of the Fiery Monsters group and are tied to the Adventurer’s Guild monster eradication goals.
