Hostile mobs try to escape the Deep Dark

If normally hostile mobs exhibit "unnatural" behavior, it would foreshadow the greater threat lurking in the dark. They're scared because the predator has become the prey. Players expect these mobs to behave as they always have in every biome and dimension: if they see you, they will attack you. These mobs will never follow you into the Deep Dark and if they can find a path out, they will flee. Seeing them prioritize escaping instead of pursuing you should make players think "what are they trying to save themselves from?"

Since spiders can climb and Endermen can teleport, they will always keep moving/climbing/teleporting until they find a way out, even though that will make a lot of noise. They might die to the Warden in their desperate attempt to get out, so their deaths should serve as a warning of what could happen to you if you don't be quiet.

Other mobs will try to keep quiet if they can't find a path out. Zombies will run to a wall or stand in the corner and cover their face. They are petrified, they stay facing the wall and ignore the player. Skeletons stand in place and shiver in fear, they don't dare to move except when they turn to look at you in desperation. They will still shoot you if you attack them. Witches will drink an invisibility potion, a helpless attempt to hide. If you attack them they will throw a potion and run far away from you.

  This is one of the best ideas !!! 😊
  Maybe Undermen will not launch either for fear of making noise and dogs (even trained) will just look for a way out

  I think This Idea paired with My Idea of Deep Dark specific Mobs would definitely be something. (The Idea I had for said mobs can be found here: https://feedback.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/community/posts/360076930611-The-deep-dark-could-use-more-Life.)
  
  In fact, maybe any mob that originates from the deep dark could scare any mobs aside from bosses and creepers. When a creeper Is In the deep dark, It will Gladly Look for a watcher to wear as a hat, making the terrifying Creeper jockey, In which the creeper will then chase after other mobs, Allowing the watcher to lay waste to them. Meanwhile when a warden is nearby, It will gladly walk out of It's way, with the creeper stand still, maybe shivering, and the watcher looking at the warden emotionlessly, reassuring them that they're safe (Kind of wholesome, honestly). This Is to signify that the creeper Isn't like the other mobs, and that These plant-like mobs would gladly Get along with the monsters of the Moss-like sculk, while also giving players and mobs alike a fear they never felt before.

  meanwhile Scourges will gladly feed off of zombies, skeletons, and witches; (although not other Insect mobs), grabbing them with their mandibles and leeching their life force until they are dead. this could also signify how the scourges are also a major threat, and that If you aren't careful, you could end up like them.
