Power: 1 | Speed: 4 | Rarity: Common | World Region: The Gloom Caverns
Origins: Gloom Bat is the Speed specialist of Shadow's Common tier – 1 Power, 4 Speed – and operates in the Gloom Caverns where visibility is zero and standard targeting doesn't function. The sonar tracking gives it accuracy in darkness that most Speed specialists in other affinities don't have access to, making its 1 Power delivery more reliable than equivalent-Speed cards in better-lit environments. Fast and precise in the dark. The combination is harder to counter than it sounds.
Finishing Move: Sonar Strike: Uses echolocation to target precisely through zero visibility – the attack lands with complete accuracy in conditions that most cards would need to make a guess in. Speed 4, unerring in the dark.
Synergy & Rivalry: Speed and dark-targeting combination in Shadow Commons. Air's Breeze Owl is its cross-affinity silent-aerial peer – two high-Speed aerial cards who both attack without providing advance warning, and who have a long professional comparison about whether sonar or silence is the more effective approach-concealment mechanism.
