A thought randomly came to my head. The Tenemos is ruled predominantly by the Mind Arcanum and most studied by Mastigos, yet the primordial dream, despite being shaped by the mind and part of the tenemos, is a VERY primal part of humanity, one that Thrysus mages could come to understand possibly easier than mastigos
So that got me thinking. Beasts have the ability of thinking beyond their Hungers to shape their legends, and more importantly the perceptions of humanity. They also utilize their Lairs as part of them and make them as primordial as their Horrors. Speaking of Horrors, these beings are instinctual fears brought to life by the collective unconcious of humanity. They are as simple as the truths of the primal wild and as malleable as those of Pandemonium
Now I'm no genius at Mage, I'm not even that big a fan of the game, but I do LOVE the crossover potential of the game. What I ultimately see with this little thought I had is the potential for the Supernal and the nature of the primordial dream and its inhabitants to be both strange, horrifying, and beautiful while showing that even now, with the nature of the monomyth and Lessons, Beasts are an essential part of the world that even the Platonic Supernal acknowledges
