The Giant Bat is a recurring boss monster in the Castlevania series. It is a giant bat whose symbolic ties to vampires strikes fear in all. It is renown for being the very first boss to appear in any of the games from the series.

Called Bat Company in this game, and making honor to this name and unlike its previous incarnations, this time the monster only appears as a company of tiny bats which can gather around and temporarily adopt one of three possible forms and attack accordingly.

The boss is only vulnerable when it has taken one of its three possible forms. When the bats are scattered, they'll be completely impervious to attack, although they can still harm the player while in this state.

The three forms the Bat Company can adopt are:

1. Giant Bat
The company of bats will always start the battle in this form, which behaves similarly to previous incarnations of the Giant Bat in other games, although considerably larger. They will lunge at the player two times before scattering to take another form.
Due to its large size, the player should plan their moves beforehand and consider baiting the monster first and attack afterward. A basic strategy is to remain in one corner of the room and wait until the boss lunges to that location; double jump over it as it does so and then take that opportunity to attack it from the other side.
2. Giant Hand
The bats will take the form of a giant, open hand and slowly float through the room directly toward the player. If the hand makes contact with them, it will close and grab them, dealing constant damage for a brief time, which in conjunction adds to one of the boss's most damaging attacks (if not the most damaging).
While large in size, this shape still gives enough space to double jump over it, although barely and only if it's near the ground. As such, it's also advisable to lure it near a corner of the room and double jump over it at the right time.
3. Moai
As a reference to the Gradius series, the company of bats will turn into a giant Moai head and start floating up and down on one side of the room while spewing a myriad of their characteristic ripple laser rings in a spreading manner. The rings can be destroyed, so using a weapon that traces a wide arc over the player (such as a great sword) or casting (explosive) spells that generate a wide area-of-effect are recommended.
