Creative cover letters

So - I am currently applying for Trainee Medical Writer positions. Had some luck already (been selected to take a writing test for one company -
)
I have found another position to apply for - but have noticed a certain quirkiness to the website (they call the company after a certain fish and have a section describing said fish, what it does and how the fish compares to the employees working there - in a good way)
Medical writer positions are really competitive and particularly at entry level. So, in order to stand out - I am wondering whether i should make a more creative cover letter (comparing myself to the fish i.e. ¨thrives in different environments¨ and able to ¨think beyond the pond¨ that sort of thing).
My CV I would keep very conservative of course. What do people think? Has anyone else taken a risk with a more creative cover letter and been successful?
All constructive feedback welcome.
