Smart Enderman: A hard mode mob variant

Tired of hard mode being too easy? Want to actually have a need for a more complicated door? Then here's a simple solution: Smart Endermen. They'd spawn rarely at first, only on hard mode, and increasingly more common with higher regional difficulties, with the maximum being 1 in 5 endermen being smart. Smart endermen open wooden doors, trapdoors, and fencegates. Seems kind of pointless right? They could just teleport through, but when they do this, it allows for other mobs to enter your base more easily. And for an extra challenge, smart endermen would also randomly press buttons and flick levers. So finally, combination locks, and other entrances would have more of a purpose.

    I dont play on hard mode (only normal), but it sounds great!  maybe red eyes for the scary look?

    Instead of only allowing certain Endermen to be "smart", why not just give normal Endermen a small chance to use doors, trapdoors, buttons, etc, and just have the chance for them to perform this behavior increase dependent on the difficulty? Endermen are rare enough spawns in the Overworld that there would be a very small chance that a player would see an Enderman perform one of these behaviors. The End is a different story entirely, but I think just not allowing Endermen to open iron doors/trapdoors could give players some kind of recourse against Endermen there.
