| First appearance | Yoshi's Story (1997) |
ComBats[1], also known as Bats[2], are a species of bat[3] that appear in Yoshi's Story. They may be found in the stages The Tall Tower, Piranha Grove, Neuron Jungle, Lift Castle, and Magma Castle. ComBats will attack any Baby Yoshi that gets too close and are immune to most things other than eggs.
ComBats have a black, spherical body with a red scalp, elbows, wings, and antennae. It has three antennae on the top of its head, which wobble as it flies. They also have thin limbs that connect their wings with their body, and yellowish lips with two small white eyes that also wobble as they fly.
When a Yoshi gets captured by Toadies or is rescued by a White Shy Guy, the silhouettes of ComBats can be seen in the background of the castle cutscene.

- German guide: Weil er nicht richtig fliegen, sondern nur auf und ab schweben kann, hat er sich schwarz geärgert.[5] (Because he can't fly properly, only floating up and down, he became blackly annoyed.)
