The Bat Cronies are the man-bat like creatures who appeared in Hotel Transylvania 2. They are a rowdy horde of monsters who live alongside and loyally serve Vlad, and their leader Bela.
Role in Hotel Transylvania 2[]
Bela's demonic bat minions live inside a secluded cave alongside Vlad, and Bela. They are all first seen hanging upside down inside Vlad's cave when Bela arrives with Vlad's invitation letter from Mavis. When Bela shouts in rage about the party, and his suspicions of humans being there, all the bat minions in the cave begin to follow Bela's lead and shout and fly around in anger.
Later, after Dennis transforms into a vampire and attacks Bela, Bela calls out for the Bat Cronies. All the way inside the cave, the bats hear Bela's call, and all fly out towards the hotel to aid him.
After Dennis defeats Bela he uses his new-found vampire abilities to sense Bela's army of bats approaching. Dennis transforms into a bat and flies off to face them, with the rest of the group following close behind. The Bat Cronies try their best to fight off the Hotel's guests, but find themselves no match for them. The bats cry out in pain and all of them retreat as they no longer live in Vlad cave.
Trivia[]
- Bat Cronies have Musophobia, so Mavis changed into a mouse to horrify them, then used her vampire powers to crush them with a pile of stones.
- What happens to them after the events of Hotel Transylvania 2 is unknown as they just fly away. Its possible they went back to Vlad's cave as Vlad moves into the Hotel After banishing Bela.
- The part of them flying away is possibly a reference to the flying monkeys from The Wizard Of Oz.
- In the first draft of Hotel Transylvania 2's script the bat cronies weren't in it at all due to Vlad not existing at the time. In later drafts and various rewrites once Vlad was added in so were the cronies.
- In early drafts of the Hotel Transylvania 2 script only the cronies are present and makes no mention of Bela. There's the possibility that Bela may have been added in at last minute either that or he was their Unnamed leader.
- Also in the early script drafts originally when Vlad finds out that Drac has let humans into his hotel Vlad would had gotten so mad that he was gonna summon his cronies to destroy the hotel, implying Vlad was gonna be the main antagonist of the film & him being the leader of the cronies instead of Bela. In the final film its Bela that summons them after Dennis gets his fangs.
- In the deleted Meet Vlad scene the Cronies would had played a bigger role since they live in Vlad's cave & would done things such as scaring and laughing at Frank when Drac is talking to Vlad.
