Default Stealth for Underwater?

I'm pretty sure that adding flying or missle weapons (except for certain crossbows) to underwater creatures is pretty much unmoddable at this point, but is it possible for us to mod in stealth?

I can see flying and missles as being debatable (even though underwater creatures have evolved to basically do those things), but lots and lots of them use Stealth, in various forms, including pretty much the entire deep sea ecosystem-where sunlight can't reach.

So is this something currently denied to us as modders? Or are there simply no vanilla sea-critters with stealth?

All the underwater nations have scouts AFAIK, and there are some other stealthy leaders like the Siren.

If you're looking for a stealthy underwater vanilla troop, MA Oceania's Ichtysatyrs should fit the bill.

Oh excellent!

If I ever get around to it (which means, after I get a new computer), I want to modify EA Aboleths to give them some kind of stealthy krakens, maybe as a capital-only recruit, or a National Summons, and give Ancient Kraken stealth as well, since big squids like that typically live in the deeper parts of the ocean, where they have to be sneaky-that's one of the reasons they have those long tentacles, so that they can reach out and grab their prey, before the prey realizes there's this huge monster squid in the area.
