I did count them as oriental, although it could go either way. The original race is said by the devs to be entirely fictional, with the Zoroastrian summons added later. I lumped them in as oriental just to be sure. Perhaps that's orientalism on my part.

I counted Abysia as human-shaped but non-human. Caelum are not human-shaped, by virtue of having great big wings. The groups I made were a bit arbitrary and I guess the edges are fuzzy.
