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.
As of version 3.6.0 a vampire bat may actually be a shapeshifted vampire or vampire lord, and resurrect in that form after being killed.
