Useful Info

Fire bats are similar to regular bats, except that their attacks are fire-based and slightly more powerful. Although they pose little physical threat, they often appear in packs. Fire bats occasionally appear in the Abyss and often in the Volcano. They can also be found in a few fire- or bat-themed vaults.

If you find a fire bat in the early Dungeon, it is almost always part of a vault. This fire bat has a HD of only 1, so it is significantly weaker than the regular monster.
