A company of bats.
Bats are an enemy in the Tomb Raider series.
In Tomb Raider, they are the weakest and least dangerous enemies being able to be killed with a single pistol shot, though due to their small size, it may still sometimes take a few shots until they are hit.
In Tomb Raider III, they are not enemies, they are simply in areas for effect and to scare the player.
They then return in Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation as enemies again, still weak, but stronger than in Tomb Raider.
In Tomb Raider: Chronicles, they can not be killed and will appear in swarms, sap Lara's health and then vanish.
In Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness, some bats will attack and some will not, again they're the easiest enemy to kill.
In Shadow of the Tomb Raider bats appears as environmental hazard, as they sometimes scare Lara off a ledge, or just for aesthetics in the background.
In Tomb Raider Reloaded bats are the weakest enemies, usually killed in 1 or 2 shots. A swarm of bats also appears as the first boss battle.

Trivia[]
- The Bat is the very first enemy that appeared in the entire Tomb Raider series. They are the first enemies Lara encounters while exploring the Caves level in the original Tomb Raider from 1996 (that is, if not counting the pack of wolves from the level's intro cutscene).
