More creatures for Elite Dangerous

I like the Thargoids and Guardians, but I do wish there were more 'proper' creatures. I know we have space molluscs and stuff, but I would like to see creatures that interact with you but not like Thargoids. E.g.
Space Siren: Dragon like creatures that live in asteroid belts, they let out a blinding light which is so powerful that when the light waves hit the hull of a ship, it makes an eerie, haunting, song like noise. They attack if you come to close, feeding off the energy of your power plant, leaving you unable to move.
Thanks for making Elite Dangerous, Frontier. I'm free for suggestions for more space creatures.

Yes please!

Love OPs idea.

I would like to see mineral-eating bugs that you have to watch out signs of on the pulse wave scanner when looking for cores. If you find some, you can kill them with a precision strike using subsurface displacement missiles, making it safe to mine. If you crack the asteroid without killing them, survivors emerge from the broken rock and will try to attach to your ship and eat your hull. Shoot them down first for unique cargo and rare materials, or burn them off by flying near the sun (Trumbles style).

It would be great if there were station-eating deep space giant worms. They would show up in a system, and GalNet would report it, but it would take two weeks for it to get to whatever station it's targeting. If CMDRs don't show up to kill it, it eats the station which is gone forever.

I think there an idea in the making. Not in space type monsters like Thargoids. But in areas like the Vents. If you look up Hydrothermal vents lifeforms, I could see another area for beginning lifeforms and another area for exploration and maybe a new type of Research SRV.

That idea has got legs (and tentacles).
IIRC, some of those lifeforms don't use oxygen.
