Reference[edit]

I love the last line of this article. I'm wondering if it should stay though... if you don't know what its from, it could lead to a player being terrified of batmen. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shadow archmagi (talkcontribs)

  • Keep it. I re-read it a couple times trying to figure out what the heck it meant, then it clicked and I laughed my ass off and scared the cat. Borogove 12:12, 9 April 2008 (EDT)

I put in {{D for Dwarf}}... to at least make it clear that some of the article is trying to be funny. It misses my funny bone by a wide mark though.GarrieIrons 04:37, 1 August 2008 (EDT)
It's not even proper for a "D for Dwarf" Article either since except for the one line that people keep replacing, the whole article is standard fact-listing. That line needs to be moved to a separate article where the people who want to "be creative" can go ahead and do so, while the original article remains a standard creature entry. --Edward 12:09, 1 August 2008 (EDT)

Blowgun[edit]

Do batmen still wield blowguns like in the 2D version? Bouchart 22:37, 10 April 2008 (EDT)

Can you Tame them?[edit]

I just caught a couple in my traps. Can they be tamed? - Kuru Valthaliondil

  • Possibly, but I think not. They appear to be sentient creatures and the code is missing the [PET] and [PET_EXOTIC] tags. --Metal chao 07:03, 9 June 2008 (EDT)

Naming[edit]

My dwarves have been naming the batmen in my chasm... Is there any significance to this? What causes them to do it? "The dwarves have given a resident batman the name ------ -------" I've never seen it before. -Jebraltix 8:57, Febuary 8 2009 (CST)

I'm pretty sure that happens if the batman in question has resided in the chasm for enough time. --Savok 23:25, 8 February 2009 (EST)
I'm seeing this as well, it's kind of wierd since I haven't seen it elsewhere.--Smjjames 01:33, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
