Basic Idea: A mob that would steal experience points.
Body type: zombie/player.
Behavior: Would siphon off xp when in a 16 block range. It would be able to do this through walls. It would also be able to see the player through walls (like aggro-ed spiders) at a long range (like ghasts) and would be able to break blocks (possibly only smoothstone to avoid endermen-esque griefing) giving it the ability to follow players in parallel tunnels, stealing their xp. When there are no blocks between it and the player it would run away.
Spawning: It would spawn in caves at a very low rate. Maybe also in the Nether and/or The End?
Drops: The xp it stole from you, and...valuable stuff?
Why bother adding it: XP is now pretty important with the addition of enchantments, and it'd be fitting to have a hostile mob that interacted with the concept (of XP). Also it could have a Herobrine skin and freak people out.
It's already irritating enough losing a couple levels even after picking up orbs from my previous death but this would ruin cave exploring for me. Have you even been spelunking and hear tons of mobs but can't find them? This would be like that but **** you off so much that you would eventually dig through the wall in front of you in a mad rage and die from falling or lava then quit the game and play a different one.
