Don't shhy away. Hushh hushh!

Decibat

Decibat is a monster that resides in the Dark Ruins, and serves as the game's first mini-boss. This mirrors Undertale proper's Napstablook, who is also the first mini-boss you encounter.

Profile[]

Appearance[]

Decibat is a bat-like monster with a bluish-gray hue and four wings. The upper pair is notably large and situated where one would expect arms to be, while the lower pair is smaller and closer to the hips. Both sets of wings feature membranes in a light shade reminiscent of dark blue.

He has two large ears whose interiors are adorned with a dark navy blue tone. Markings on his stomach create the illusion of an open mouth, and he has dark blue fluff around his neck. His eyes are completely white with no discernible pupils and he has a large mouth with visible fangs.

Personality[]

Whhispers only please. Hushh Hushh!

Decibat

Decibat seems like an introverted and sensitive monster who values peace and quiet above all else. He becomes agitated and loses patience when confronted with loud noises. Despite his irritation, he tries to maintain a mostly calm demeanor and prefers to communicate in hushed tones. When speaking, he has an habit of rolling his Hs.

In Battle[]

Attacks[]

  • Wave Blue: Decibat's first attack is a blue wave which can be avoided by not moving.
  • Wave Orange: Decibat's second attack is an orange wave which can be avoided by moving. At this point, the player is introduced to the concept of blue and orange attacks in Undertale Yellow (if not previously familiar with it from Undertale).
  • Wave Multi: Decibat sends large sound waves, which are either orange or blue, from all sides of the board except from the bottom, one at a time.
  • Wave Mini: Small sound waves bounce around the board and change colors from orange to blue or vice versa each time they hit a border.
  • Stalagmite:[1] Small stalactites appear in a sequence at the top of the bullet board, then fall in the same order.

Strategy[]

Decibat can be spared by either using the Watch ACT 5 times consecutively or annoying him by using Talk and Shoo ACTs 5 times until he leaves.

  1. Despite this attack being called "Stalagmite" in the code, the attack uses stalactites instead.
  2. Oh right, I forgot you are not big on dancing.
    More of a Sentinel of Silence, right?
    Funny history I have with those folk.
    We all used to live on the top floor of UG Apartments north of here.
    Our side of the hall wanted to be bold! High energy!
    While the other preferred the deafening sound of silence.
    We feuded over the SVL for weeks! The Standard Volume Level, that is.
    Long story short, we all were kicked out, haha!
    Gone our separate ways now, free to chase any comfort we choose.
    I sometimes wonder what that bat got up to? Probably lives in some Snowdin cave.
