A batato is a modified version of the bat, with a poisonous potato replacing the body and head of the mob. It has the same AI as the regular bat.

Spawning

Batatos can spawn in groups of 8-16 in the Potato dimension under the same conditions as bats (light level of 3 or less at any height on opaque blocks that are not directly exposed to the sky. They also need at least 1.5 air blocks.)
