The Halmahera naked-backed fruit bat (Dobsonia crenulata) is a common and widespread megabat of the family Pteropodidae that is endemic to Indonesia, found on the northern Moluccas, the Togian, Sangihe and Talaud Islands, Sulawesi, Buton, Mangole, Halmahera and other islands, up to 1,000 metres. Its fur is greenish, like the greenish naked-backed fruit bat, but it is larger and has heavier dentition, and births probably take place in December. It is commonly found in gardens and disturbed forest, is not dependent on water, and roosts in caves, trees and rock crevices in large colonies. The IUCN assesses it as least concern, though hunting and limestone extraction in southern Sulawesi may be local threats.
