The vampire bat, B, is a monster in NetHack. It is the most powerful variety of bat and, despite its name, cannot drain life.
Its corpse is poisonous, but does not stun the player.
Player

- are permanently stunned.
- will polymorph into vampires when the player polymorphs without polymorph control.
Biology
This is a real bat. The term actually englobes several species. They eat blood, hence the name.
Encyclopedia entry
A bat, flitting in the darkness outside, took the wrong turn
as it made its nightly rounds and came in through the window
which had been left healthfully open. It then proceeded to
circle the room in the aimless fat-headed fashion habitual
with bats, who are notoriously among the less intellectually
gifted of God's creatures. Show me a bat, says the old
proverb, and I will show you something that ought to be in
some kind of a home.
