More epic companions?

I was looking over the options, and aside from the one reptilian creature (quetzalcouatl) the list of epic creatures is overwhelmingly mammalian. Griffins are platypi though, being part mammal and part avian.

Anyway I was thinking maybe we could - not immediately, but over time - expand the roster to include some more inventive things like insectoids, amorphic creatures like sentient slimes and elementals or djinni (perhaps they could learn techniques from amorphic bloodlimits such as hozuki or sadojin?), high-functioning undead (low functioning undead would be useless without necromancy controlling them) or maybe even completely artificial life forms like undead, golems, and autonomous mechanized units.

I'm not asking for anything specific, not right now. The mechanics aren't even there to support some of the things that we could think of currently. I just thought I'd put this stuff in your heads for as the site grows and our character options expand. Assuming it wasn't there already.

I've been thinking for a while now that it'd be rad if we were allowed to have some of the insects or vermin as AC's. In general there's a ton of stuff in the creatures board that we don't have any access to, outside of for materials. I dunno if everything outside of animals should be required as epics, but maybe down the road we can have some more of this stuff.
