Mob as food source in Deep Dark

I think deep dark should have some source of food. What if you run out of food there? Large caves easy to get lost in, no coal for torches, lots of hostile mobs spawning... I see it as some kind of passive mob, like big rat or mole. It constantly running away from player, so you need to chase it in order to get food. Imagine, you running out of health, you chasing this mob, finally you get it, but you find yourself compleatly lost in dark cave maze. Only sorce of light - campfire where you coock your prey. This mechanic will fit naturally to deep dark ambiance. Another way to capture it is to seat quietly and whait when it comes closer. Because it blind. It can hear you but not see. You can use bait which you can obtain in caves (glow berries, mushrooms). This mob drops meat and trophy loot such as teeth or fur which you can sell to Deep Dark Merchant (search for it in sugesstions, I made a thread, not shure I allowed to attach links here)

    Cool mechanic: because this mob reacts to the sound (just like Warden), you can use snowballs or eggs. But unlike Warden, who goes in direction of sound source - this mob will do opposite. It will run away from sound source. That means, if this mob infront of you, you can throw snowball behind this mob, so it will  start running away from snowball -  towards you. That's how you can easily catch it.
