I think humans are somehow useful to the little monsters, perhaps just as food, perhaps as hosts for parasitic reproduction...whatever the case, they tried to drag off Hud, rather than simply killing him outright. However, as the scene went on, it became clear that the people weren't going to simply leave one of their own behind, and that's when they inflicted the bite. The bite would cause some sort of toxic gas, or perhaps merely a sedative, to be formed, sacrificing the bitten individual, but killing or incapacitating those around said victim, allowing the little monsters to drag them off without a fuss. Obviously, this suggests either intellect, or some VERY complicated instinctual behavior, but it's what I've come up with.
