Official profiles and descriptions
Zelda Universe
- "Battle Bats is the name given to the six Keese controlled by the Grim Creeper in Eagle's Tower."
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
- Player's Guide: "The Grim Creeper controls the six Bats at once. Destroy all of them before any of them flies away. If one escapes, you must defeat all six again."
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX
- Prima's Official Strategy Guide: "These bats arrive in groups of six when summoned by the Grim Creeper in the Eagle's Tower. Destroy them all quickly or all six will reappear and you'll have to face them all again."
Trivia
- Zelda Universe accidentally categorizes Big Keeses as enemies appearing in Zelda II: The Adventure of Link.[4]
- In the Player's Guide for The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, it states that Big Keeses are "known as Keese in some regions of Hyrule"[3], despite regular Keeses appearing in the game, and the book later calling them using the Big Keese name.[2] Zelda Universe refers to Big Keeses as a group of Keeses.[4]
