That's an interesting point, since the Houses were (as I understand
it) chosen to represent different aspects of human nature rather than
for verisimilitude w/rt real animals. Thus, it might be more accurate
to leave the animals out entirely and say that Dragaerans are tied to
aspects of human nature, each symbolized by a fantastic animal.
