For Developers:

If you'd like to add new mob variants, you can add them through a datapack under data/yourmodid/nomansland/mob_variants/variant_type/variant.json variant_type being one of the above. Currently, you cannot add new variant types.

Most variant json files are structured like this:

{
// The mob's new texture, multiple textures are needed for some mobs
  "texture": "yourmodid:entity/mob_variants/variant",
// The weighted value of the mob variant if in a matching biome
  "weight": 1,
// An optional holder set of biomes.
  "biomes": "#yourmodid:entity/biome_tag"
}

However, this varies from type to type according to what textures are needed, refer to the source code for examples. Also note that the mob variant will be weighted everywhere if biomes is not present.
