I suggest that whenever the game spawns skeletons, there should be a very very rare chance that one of them would be a shadow archer. Shadow archers would be like skeletons, but they would have a slightly different, shadowy appearance.
A shadow archer would not attack players, but would do his best to hunt down and destroy torches. He would shoot any torches he could; allowing more monsters to spawn.
If you want to defend against this type of beast, your best bet is to use glowstone. Shadow archers would make the game more challenging. If you don't take the effort to perfectly light up your caves, there is always a chance one of them will spawn, and the darkness will take back your cave.
This would be a great idea but then there would be the problem they had when some one would spawn an ender dragon. they could spawn in places that aren't loaded and cause chunk errors. Don't get me wrong, i love the idea i just don't think it's practical.

Errr, they would despawn like other mobs?
Anyways, love the suggestion. It would eather have to be rare than a spider jocky OR only shoot torches when ever your in a certian distiance of them, because then unlighting whole caves while your farming is not good.
1. On it's appearance, maybe it could be textured to have a black cloak or something.
2. You could also encase your torches in a transparent block such as glass.
3. This would be a pain for redstone engineers if they accidentally forget to put the game onto peaceful mode-they could shoot the redstone torches!
