Yes. I already have the beginnings of a system like that, I just focused more on getting the core features ready for release. I am also planning on making Sea Dragons prey on Reapers as they're supposed to in the lore, seeing as it doesnt seem like any other modders are interested in doing so. I'm not a very good coder though so no promises. But just getting all the different leviathans to attack each other seems doable.
They actually already do this--try spawning a Reaper where there are Sandsharks and Stalkers. The problem is they don't use their face-claws like they do with Seamoths and Prawn suits. I do intend to give them the ability to do so in the future.
Creatures also don't seem to flee from threats until it damages them, further reducing the impact of predator-prey interactions.
This mod became really fun once I added 233 roaming reapers to my game! Not only saved my life once when a Reaper sucker punched one that was attacking me, not only did I manage to sneak by two Reapers that were fighting, but I am currently at the mountain island and FOUR Reapers arrive there1 it became a massive brawl until one Reaper got yeeted over the island, another one send flying somewhere south and one might have died. Now there is only one swimming around at the island.
Imagine being in the jaws of a reaper, when all of a sudden it lets go of you as it gets carried off into the darkness by a bigger reaper, and now there's something bigger to be scared of. That would be crazy.

The Random creature spawn mod provides alot of opportunities for leviathans to encounter each other, and I think your mod could be awesome with it.
fighting to death might be a bit harsh but this is not a peaceful ocean.
Reapers hunting Sandsharks and Stalkers would be great.

10/10 - Amazing with Persistant Reapers
Also reminds me that I forgot to tell the Reapers to release their grab targets when they're attacked by another lol thanks
