Apply Glare mechanics into bats

Bats could spawn in the overworld in dark areas even if there isn't a roof and fly around these dark regions indicating that hostile mobs could spawn. It would be similar to the Glare mechanic, and since this mob didn't won the vote, could be an interesting change to the game.

    I actually really like this idea. Would give some purpose to bats. But I think they should spawn only under ground

    I like the idea of bats flying to the darkest part of a base, or just flying around in dark areas of zero light. 

    I think the Glare should have been done differently, the Glare should have been only able to wander in lite areas, and growl when hostile mobs approached. Allow you to make it into a patrolling guard pet with lighting being its fence/path control.

    I love the Glare for what it could have been, but giving the functionality to bats sounds way more natural.
