Animal Attunements

Does anyone else notice some glaring holes in Jordi's Choir Attunements?

Seraphim: Marine Life

Cherubim: Felines

Ofanim: Flying Animals

Elohim: Reptiles

Malakim: Canines

Kyriotates: Insects (interpreting broadly to include Arachnids & other "bugs")

Mercurians: Primates

So this leaves (off the top of my head): Ursines, Equines (& other hooves animals like deer gazelles & bovines), Pachaderms, Flightless Birds, & Rodents.

Ok, we can drop Ursines by interpreting the Cherub Attunement rather broadly, as ursines are on the feline half of the carniverous mammal spectrum. They also hunt (i.e. fish) alone & of course the Mother Bear metaphor is way to provactive to not give it to the Cherubim.

I don't know about the others though... I suppose one could be the Grigori Attunement (though the online write-up I've been using for the Grigori in my campaigns have the Outcaste Grigori of Animals actually inhabit human or primal pseudo-human Vessels... one would presume Big Foot to be a Grigori of Animals under this interpretation). Perhaps though, a more appropriate Attunement (as Mercurians already've got Primates) would be that Grigori of Animals get vessels of mamalian herbivores. That should be sufficiantly broad to cover alot of ground & stay in theme with the Outcaste gentle giants we know & love (though would love to know better via e23...)

So what do you think about Grigori of Animals bein Attuned to Mammalian Herbivores? What do you think about Ursines falling under the Cherub of Animals Attunement? How do, or how would you handle covering the animals ignored by the write-up for Jordi in the Corebook?
