Hobit, these bats are from Gundabad. We don't really know what they like, or how smart they are.

If they live in the Misty Mountains (cold) and possibly in dungeons (deep) and caverns (old), I can't imagine that there would be much of what real-world bats would eat. It would likely be too cold for large quantities of bugs to live and prosper, and it would probably be impossible for fruit to grow there, especially considering that Orcs are not known to have green thumbs. (Metaphorically.  Who knows what colors their thumbs are?)  It (somewhat) logically follows that they would need something else to eat:  Meat. Even if they eat small, cave-dwelling beasts, I wouldn't think that they would mind an opportunity to feed on piles of carrion.

Also, I had said "That's just my train of thought.". My brain is a small, squishy, underused place, where anything can happen!

Presumably, these would eventually become actual, special, mobs, something like in Grievous' suggestion that AlteOgre pointed out, but, until then, I think that this would be good, and probably easier.

If this sounds rude, I apologize. That was most definitely not my intent, but just what is running around in my brain.
