Wyvern bats: a new mob for the deep dark

I have an idea for the deep dark. Wyvern bats would nest in the ceilings of the city, and fly down toward moving things to try and attack them. If anything that counts as a play attacking does damage to it, it will use it gaping mouth and satellite dish-like ears to let out a screech that could potentially disturb every skulking sensor in the entire city. It will hunt cows, spiders, and zombies, and can be fed steak, raw beef or rotten flesh to pacify it for a moment, but it isn't breedable, and it isn't permanently tamable. Killing it will give you the ear dish, which can be used to amplify noises vibration frequency and to add volume change to music and goat horn playing. It can also drop wing film which can heal elytra, and make leather armor. Ithink this giant bat would fit perfectly into the deep dark "A Quiet Place" theme without adding too much sulky ideas to the area and overflowing it.

    This is cool, but I feel like it wouldn't quite fit in the deep dark. Maybe if they add a new "deep dark" dimension it would be cool though.

    That's an interesting idea. It would also be cool if the Wyvern bats had red or orange eyes.

    Creepy!

    addressing the first comment, im not trying to fit into the skulk. im trying to fit into the idea that despite the cave having skulk, it's still a big cave, meaning the skulk wont be in absolutely everything. this would be found in a cave scavenger that is both silent when it wants to be, and ear piercingly loud when threatened. this would make a higher difficulty level for the deep dark, making the warden or the chests in the ancient city have to have some far better loot tables, and possibly a new valuable item (valuable to a player as in useful like a tool not valuable in any other sense). echolocation just fits that quiet place vibe that happens in the deep dark, so i think it fits very well. i personally am less inclined to want a deep dark dimension, because we already have a normal dimension, a sky dimension, and a cave dimension, and secondly, because I'm have troubles thinking about how it would be a particularly unique dimension from the 3 others without stretching into the modded community for help.
