Vampire bats do suck blood, but they're not very big and would only ever target a sleeping human from what I've heard. There are a few pretty large bat species, but most of the big ones are found in tropical regions.

My understanding is that they don't 'suck' as such (like a mosquito), but rather create a wound and lap at the blood which emerges.
