 ====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 ''{{wp|ghoul}}'' and ''{{wp|bat}}''. It may also involve ''gulp'' and the ''{{wp|Giant golden-crowned flying fox|golden-capped fruit 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.
