Skullbat

You're fighting a skullbat

This is pretty creepy -- it's a bat with a skull instead of a body. Most bats have skulls in addition to their body, but, y'know.

It gazes a gazely stare deep into your soul with its empty, empty eyes. Ooh! Oof! Ow!

It headbutts you with its hard, bony skull. Y'know, unlike those soft, fleshy skulls you've heard about. Oof! Eek!

It gazes deep into your soul, but your soul also gazes back at it. With even more gazely depth.

It tries to headbutt you, but you're just too hard-headed.
