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 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".

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.

Bugs

This weapon uses the incorrect skins in client view.
This item's level does not show up in the backpack or loadout. This is because the item type is assigned to a text string that does not exist.
This item's style names are incorrectly labeled as #TF_Skullbat_Style0, #TF_Skullbat_Style1, #TF_Skullbat_Style2 and #TF_Skullbat_Style3.
Some voice commands with animations, like "Move Up", will cause this weapon to float in the air.
The weapon model, on rare occasions, will deform when it crits.

Trivia

The name of this item is a reference to the idiom "a bat out of hell", usually used as a simile. "He got out of there like a bat out of hell" - i.e., very quickly. ^[1]
This item's original name and description are references to Yorick, a character in the Shakespearean tragedy Hamlet.
The Bat Outta Hell is the first and currently only weapon to have ever had a specific time restriction. It was restricted to Halloween and Full Moon events from its release in the Spectral Halloween Special through the November 5, 2012 Patch, and was therefore never actually restricted in its use.
