==Biology==
==Biology==
Golbat is a large, blue, bat-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with purple wing membranes. It has small eyes with slit-like pupils, along with tiny triangular ears with purple insides, and a massive mouth with two fangs in each jaw. The fangs are smaller on a female Golbat. While its mouth seems to be otherwise empty, Golbat occasionally displays a long, purple tongue. It has short legs with long, tiny feet. Despite this, Golbat can also walk skillfully on the ground.
Golbat is a large, blue, {{wp|bat|chiropteran}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with purple wing membranes. It has small eyes with slit-like pupils, along with tiny triangular ears with purple insides, and a massive mouth with two fangs in each jaw. The fangs are smaller on a female Golbat. While its mouth seems to be otherwise empty, Golbat occasionally displays a long, purple tongue. It has short legs with long, tiny feet. Despite this, Golbat can walk skillfully on the ground.


Golbat's fangs have hollow tubes specialized for sucking blood. While they are strong enough to pierce thick hide, they are also unexpectedly fragile. There are some Golbat that have missing fangs as a result of their hunger-fueled attempt to try drinking blood from {{type|Steel}} Pokémon. It feeds on the blood of both Pokémon and humans and is capable of drinking over 10 ounces (300 milliliters) of blood in one sitting. Golbat drinks so much blood that its blood type will change to that of its victim following a feed. It is also gluttonous, occasionally gorging itself to the extent that it becomes too heavy to fly, leaving itself vulnerable in turn. Golbat is also willing to share gathered blood with other members of its kind that are hungry. Golbat is nocturnal and can be found quite easily in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}}.

Golbat feeds on the blood of both Pokémon and humans and is capable of drinking over 10 ounces (300 milliliters) of blood in one sitting. It is gluttonous, and drinks so much blood that its blood type will change to that of its victim following a feed. It occasionally gorges itself to the extent that it becomes too heavy to fly, leaving itself vulnerable in turn. However, it is also willing to share gathered blood with other members of its kind that are hungry. [[Koga's Golbat|One particular Golbat]] could utilize {{m|Supersonic}} to produce a magic mirror in its mouth for scrying to see things from a distance, even if walls or land are in the way. Golbat is nocturnal and can be found quite easily in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}}.

===Origin===
Golbat seems to be based on a {{wp|bat}}, particularly {{wp|vampire bat}}s, which bite other animals to {{wp|Hematophagy|feed on their blood}}. Its {{type|Poison}} may be inspired by either the {{wp|anticoagulant}} properties of vampire bat saliva or the fact that bats are infamous for spreading deadly diseases such as {{wp|rabies}}. Its gaping maw could be a caricature of mythological {{wp|vampire}}s.

====Name origin====
====Name origin====
Golbat may be derived from ''gollop'', a variation of ''gulp'' (to eat or drink quickly or greedily; referring to its appetite for blood) and ''{{wp|bat}}''. It could also be a shortening of ''{{wp|Giant golden-crowned flying fox|golden-capped fruit bat}}''.
Golbat may be a combination of ''gore'', ''{{wp|ghoul}}'', and ''bat''.
 
It may also be derived from the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulium Golubatz fly], an alternative name for the ''Simulium colombaschense'', a European black fly noted for blood sucking and spreading disease, which may have inspired its [[Poison-type]] and association with blood-sucking bats.
