I don't speak for all the modding community of course, but of the modders I've talked to there seems to be a consensus that they don't want to make fictional animals because they'd prefer to work on real animals and they don't want to risk legal consequence of making animals from fictional settings.

That said, if you were willing to learn and got permission from Unknown Worlds Entertainment, there are a lot of people on the discord willing to teach you how to add animals and many of the subnautica animals would be easy to add

You know, I might try some retexturizing stuff. Is there any sort of mod API out there?
