That's assuming that the CoG are some form of conventional life, which I highly doubt. They're referred to seperately from animals, and seem unnaturally focused on killing. Besides, there exists a machine that quantifies the soul; it's further established that humans and animals have souls, whereas the CoG do not. Only if Pyrrha were a fundamentalist would her denial of the alternative make sense, which would admittedly be interesting, but in my estimation, unlikely. Therefore, I conclude that the CoG are not animals, lack souls, and are not poor, misunderstood beasts; they're a thing diametrically opposed to creatures with souls. Beast-shaped lightning. Interesting wildlife is certainly possible, though.
