Fire elementals and spiders could *probably* fit in (and also already exist on classic), albeit they'd definitely be the more lethal of the bunch. Spiders would probably be the better fit due to being creepy little critters who aren't super deadly unless they gang up their little jump on and thrash around attack. Their ability to hide under tables and spit webs/spawn more spiders if killed also makes them more suited to be a pest when tiny than actually dangerous (could be reflected in their bite/pounce being weaker in small form?)
Fire elementals would definitely need to be a little bit changed to fit on RP as not a strictly lethal threat though, since the only reason they're not THAT deadly is because a fire extinguisher or fire suit basically cripple their effectiveness against you. Both of which are very readily available and orderable.
The artifact critter thing does sound very fun though, especially if it's spawned by an artifact as a rare fault (maybe a one time fault? I barely get how arts work tbh). Also gives a proper incentive for scientists to deal with the things, since they'd want that yummy yummy art drop.
