Every Steal An Egg bat, the best bat, and how to upgrade your bat.
Your bat is how you knock thieves away from your base and how you fight bosses. Every player starts with the same Bat. Better bats are not bought: each one unlocks when you complete a biome Index, which means hatching every pet from that biome at least once.
Force is how hard it knocks a player back, Duration is how many seconds they stay ragdolled, and Range bonus is extra reach in studs. The bat pictures are our own drawings in each biome's colours; the game does not publish its bat models.
