Ultimate Pacific Ocean pack wishlist

This one might be a bit weird, I don't see dlc's themed after a body of water be suggested that often aside from the Mediterranean sea sometimes, but I think there's enough wildife diversity in the Pacific ocean to justify this idea.

Rules
  1. You must pick up to 4 OR 7 habitat animals, depending on whether you want a Scenery pack or Animal pack.
  2. You can pick only 1 exhibit animal (but you can chose to not have one).
  3. No extinct animals, but animals extincts in the wild are okay. No fantasy animals or unverified cryptids.
  4. You can vote for one animal to be the dlc's mascot (the one put at the forefront of its banner) by writing "Mascot" between brackets.
  5. All animals must be native from the Pacific ocean. The rules for what is considered part of the Pacific ocean are as follow:
    • All seas, gulfs, straits and other bodies of salt water contiguous to the Pacific except other oceans are considered part of the Pacific ocean. It continues until you reach land or another ocean. So the Timor, Tasman, South and East China seas, etc. are all taken into account.
    • Islands entirely surrounded by the Pacific ocean and/or part of Indonesia are considered part of the Pacific ocean.
    • The coasts of continental land masses touching the Pacific ocean are considered part of the Pacific ocean, to a reasonable extent (don't use it as an excuse to include an animal who doesn't live West of the Rockies, for instance).
  1. Sea otter
  2. Southern elephant seal
  3. Short-beaked echidna
  4. Kākāpō
  5. Marine iguana
  6. Japanese giant salamander
  7. Coconut crab (Mascot)
  8. Yellow-bellied sea snake (Exhibit)

  8. Regal Blue Tang (exhibit) - or ideally it would be mix and matchable with four other reef fish, my choices being Emperor Angelfish, Moon Wrasse, Ocellaris Clownfish, and Threadfin Butterflyfish. But the tang is my vote for tallying purposes
I wanted to avoid cold-associated animals like walrus, sea otter, and takahe so they would all work together thematically. This way you get a sort of animal pack companion to the Australia and Oceania Packs, with a tropical island theming that unites all the species.

I only took the regal blue tang, sorry but I think adding the Grasslands dlc model would disrupt the result just a little bit too much 😅
(and also, sadly, I don't see it happening anytime soon...)

It's a perfectly valid approach (y)
 
Giant Pacific Octopus. [Mascot] Those things get huge as I found out the hard way when my narked (nitrogen sarcosis. Like being drunk but underwater for you non divers) friend decided it was a good idea to huge the kraken and the kraken hugged back. It nearly pulled my respirator out while I was dragging him to surface.

Green Sea Turtle.

Nudibranch (exhibit)

Can't think of anymore right now

Nudibranches seem to be an entire order, could you maybe be a little bit more specific?
Also, just to clarify, the animals don't need to be predominently aquatic. If you have difficulties finding even 4 habitat animals, maybe you could take inspirations from the lists of other voters? ^^"
 
I'll go off of Hawaii since Hawaii is in the middle of the pacific.

1: Green Sea Turtle (Mascot)
2: Yellow-bellied Sea Snake
3: ʻIlioholoikauaua aka Hawaiian Monk Seal
4: Néné aka Hawaiian Goose
Scenery Pack: Hawaiian Scenery

Things that could be included but should be part of the base game:
Manta
Ocean Sunfish
Any Shark
Spotted Eagle Ray
Japanese Spider Crab

I absolutely love it! Both the content and the presentation. I considered including the tuatara in my own list, but I ultimately decided to use the kākāpō as a NZ representative and the yallow bellied sea snake as an exhibit animal. Still glad to see some love for this little guy.
