As they are now, caves are generally populated by mobs that are also found on the surface, with the only cave-specific hostile mob being the cave spider. But if we want combat in the caves to be a bit different than it is under the open sky, let’s add another cave mob into the mix.
Haunting the dark and silent passages at diamond level are the Shades - dark wraithlike creatures that spawn below y level 15. Shades and Bats are natural enemies and attack each other on sight. Shades would also be hostile to the player. They are only dangerous in groups, but can strike the player with blindness. I imagine Shades would also be very allergic to sunlight, evaporating immediately when exposed to it rather than slowly burning like the undead.
As far as what they would look like, I image they would be somewhat similar to the Vex. They could be on the smaller side and fly.
