Batty Koda is the deuteragonist of the FernGully franchise. He is a fruit bat who is one of Crysta's best friends.
He was voiced by the late Robin Williams in the first film, and by Matt K. Miller in the sequel.
Personality[]
At first, Batty seems to be a bit unhinged, showing extreme distrust in humans, he was used in animal testing, although it is not specified why, it is hinted that it was for both cosmetic and more medical reasons, like in the extended version of his rap. However, the electrode in his head and possible wires under his skin support the latter.
When the wires from his electrode are struck, he seems to hallucinate, possibly picking up on radio or television signals, as he quotes various TV shows and movies. The electrode obviously goes directly into his brain and mysteriously vanishes in the second film.
Batty is thoughtful, kind and caring towards his friends and the inhabitants of Ferngully, but he can be extremely distrusting to humans; however, once they gain his trust, he cares about them as well.
