Mounted=Animal attribute?

[Psientist]

Shouldn't all mounted units, especially knights, have the "animal" attribute, and thus be subject to the "animal awe" ability?

I was reading one of my favorite authors, Glenn Cook, who described a battle mage who disrupted a charge of armored cavalry by projecting phantasms of giant bears. The illusions terrified the horses - who were trained for combat, but still had horsey instincts - and the horses would not obey or charge forward.

Seems to make sense to me.

Heck, even units like elephants (description: "...the largest animals known to man, are trained in Arcoscephale...") don't have the animal attribute.

Thus, the animal awe attribute is made somewhat worthless.
