Not native so far as I'm aware (or if there are, they're very rare)

But with that said, a lot of mods for games running in proton can work just fine, for example I know you can get Cyberpunk 2077 mods running, or mods for GTA V etc.

actually mods are mostly based on game client and so on. So if a game has native build on linux probably mods will work on linux too for examples;

torchligh 1 2 +mods
Reassambly +mods
Hatred+mods
Arma 3 +mods (depends on native experimental version)

Yeah, there's native mods. If a mod requires compilation or requires additional libraries.

1. Total conversions mods such as The Dark Mod.

QuoteThe Dark Mod was first released in 2009 as a total conversion mod for Doom 3. Version 2.0 was released in October 2013 as a standalone game using the open-source id Tech 4 game engine.

2. Mods that rely on functions outside of the game, requiring Windows dlls, or Linux so files. This can be seen with Half-life 1 mods. Some of these mods are compiled only for Windows (dll), and therefore are not native.
