I'd like to see much more and varied small and tiny animal life on the sea floor. While the terrain is beautiful, it would make for a more visceral experience.
- Animals could be hiding under items that you pick up that might startle you (as they run and hide from you).
- Animals could live on/near certain plant life. If that plant life is picked/destroyed, they might not show up anymore.
- To limit development effort, many of these species would not need to be directly interactable -- they could hide into the soil when the player gets too close, and come out later.
Examples are crabs, shrimp, slugs, shellfish, and other bottom feeders. The tiny ones could even be rendered as textures on the surface of bottom objects (similar to how the schools of small fish are done).
