Skybat

Skybat is a Laser Beast from the Generation 1 continuity family.

Skybat (スカイバット Sukaibatto) is commander of the air and intelligence portions of the Laser Beast forces, answering to General Skullgrotes. Skybat hails from a clan of long-eared bats that have been caretakers to Tigerburn's royal family for generations. As such, Skybat claims sheer loyalty to Tigerburn, but his subordinates can't help but be suspicious. Skybat is a master hypnotist and has excellent hearing, compensating for his lack of physical strength.

With his Sound Pick Laser, Skybat can emit a sound wave that steals his opponent's hearing and, if they're close enough, put them in a coma.
