"A ghostly flying mammal with keen hearing and sense of smell."
Folio Bruti[src]

The Spectre Bat was the ghost of a bat.[1]

Description[]

Even though it was a ghost, the Spectre Bat had enough physicality to attack a human, and to be affected by spells. Noted for its sharp sense of smell and hearing, it was also able to stun its victims. It tended to be found in darker areas of the wizarding world, such as the dungeons of Hogwarts Castle or the corners of Knockturn Alley. It was particularly resistant to Red Sparks and the Fire-Making Spell, but was quite vulnerable to the Skurge Charm, being a ghost.[2]
