Bats and Vampires

Many people have the same feelings that Bats as atmospheric mobs are pretty useless. However with this idea you can bring new life to Bats and caves and gameplay as a whole.
The idea is as follows.
When a player hits a bat it has a rare chance of turning into a vampire (or another custom mob) and when killed it has 1 in 2 chance of dropping fangs which can be used to craft either
a book of Siphoning
A potion of siphoning
Or applied to arrows.
Now once the player hits a entity with it it will become weaker while the player gains a slight increase in strength and faster regeneration. The only drawback is that when in light level 6 or above they will burn. As for enhancing caves you can make it so they only spawn in caves

    What if bats do something similar to dolphins. If you are nearby a bat you get the effect hungry fangs(or a better name) hungry fangs give you a higher critical hit chance.

    It could add to your idea.
