The Bat Outta Hell is a melee weapon for all classes except for the Engineer and Spy. It is a skull with a jiggleboned lower jaw attached to a spine segment.

This item has four styles, with the first being the basic unaltered version. The others respectively outfit the skull with the Scout's hat and headpiece, the Demoman's cap and eyepatch, and the Soldier's helmet and stogie.

This item functions identically to the wielder's default melee weapon.

The Bat Outta Hell was originally contributed to the Steam Workshop under the name "Yorick's Lament".
