The Drill Bot (also known as Flybot) is a foe that was introduced in Epic Battle Fantasy 2. It appears mostly around factories and other industrial areas, such as the final stages of EBF2 and the Waste Disposal Plant. However it can also be found at the Volcano Peak, where it was initially used as a mining drone.
Appearance
Drill Bot is a round, flying robot with a propeller on its top, a large red "eye" on its front, three small landing struts on its underside, and a pair of large drills on its sides.

Trivia
- The EBF3 incarnation of the Drill Bot has several references to the animé Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.
- Its Bestiary description states "It's [sic] drills will pierce your heavens." This references a recurring motif/statement in TTGL: "My/your Drill is the drill that will pierce the heavens!"
- When the party destroys their first Drill Bot in battle, Matt will comment "Good thing these robots don't have the spirit to perform a Giga Drill Break, or we'd really be in trouble." The Giga Drill Break is one of the iconic attacks of the main robot in TTGL.
