The Dark Bat, known as a Dark Float (ダークフロート) in Japan, is a harmless flying enemy found in the night stages of Sonic Unleashed, and one of Dark Gaia's minions.

Overview
Dark Bats are generally placed over bottomless pits so that the player can use them to navigate across it grabbing onto them or swinging from them. In the 360/PS3 version, grabbing them will pull Sonic to safe ground or another grabbable object, while they can grab onto one for a ride in the Wii/PS2 version. If the player defeats one, another will appear in its place after a while so they will have another chance to cross.
There are two other variants of this enemy, known as the Dark Bat Sniper and the Thunder Bat.
Dark Bats also appeared as equippable Buddies in Sonic Runners where they were known as a "Green Crystal Monster (L)". Bringing one on a run would turn all crystals green after reaching a specific combo, and its effects were greater when used by Fly Type characters.
