It's not the mob, just the particles are floating in the air.

Looks like some kind of nodes. Idk what kind though.

Dont know anything about thaumcraft 4, but it looks like something I seem to recall seeing before. Wasn't there some sort of teleportation mechanic once(1.4.7 maybe?) that left behind a purple particle animation like that?

looks like ars magicka lights to me

Idk, they kinda look like some dark/tainted nodes.

It's best when having a question like this, to turn off your texture/resource pack. That way in the default we can accurately determine what's going on

Maybe just an enderman who teleported away?

I've found out what they are.
I ran into a Tainted biome and a Tainted Swarm attacked me and it looked exactly like this. However the ones in the screenshot are not the actual mob and just seem to be a visual glitch; my friend reported having seen the same random lights after encountering a swarm. I'm going to be reporting this as a bug.
Thanks for all the help guys and sorry for the op, it was kind of late.

yup, it's from a tainted swarm mob, which seems to have glitched, causing this to happen.
they can only be found in the tainted biomes though, as they get spawned from a special block that acts like a spawner for them
