What are the different kinds of spirits in this cosmology?

In (my) Nephilim cosmology, there are a few different types of spirits contrasting the Immortals and their Paredri. The three broad categories are:

Summoned Beings are spirits called by Summoning from the astral plane and other planes within the magic fields that seem linked to the collective unconscious. Unlike Elemental Beasts, and like humans, they operate on seeming intelligence rather than instinct. They assume countless forms, including those resembling animals. Summoners argue over whether summoned beings naturally live on some other plane, are conjured into existence by the summoner's will and imagination from the personal or collective unconscious, or if there's even a difference.

Elemental Beasts are to the Immortals what mortal animals are to mortal humans. As with mortal animals, Elemental Beasts operate on instinct rather than humanlike intelligence. They typically have a single Ka-element, sometimes two, but rarely more. All Beasts have a defining Personality Trait, which must be present in an environment before they can spontaneously generate or be deliberately conjured. Both Sorcery and Summoning may be used to bind them, but they can only generate or be conjured from sufficiently powerful concentrations of Ka like natural or magical phenomena.

The Deceased are the lingering spirits of mortals, tied to their corpses. Selenim may perceive them via the Tenebrae and contact them with Necromancy. The corpse retains residual Solar-Ka that decays over time, until the spirit becomes unreachable save to the Third Circle. Their overall power is based on their Solar-Ka and the Torment of their condition, with the most powerful being able to project themselves as Ghosts who can visit mementos of their life and even travel the astral plane!

In addition to this, there are a few subcategories or liminal categories:

Black Summons are Elemental Beasts of the Black Moon, called by the Selenim's Black Summoning. Unlike the chromatic Beasts, Conjurers may conjure them from anywhere the Black Moon Field is even weakly present by playing a musical tune with the correct emotional ambiance. They generally operate on programming rather than intelligence, but a rare few appear genuinely intelligent and act on their own initiative. They can be found roaming the nightmare realms in the lower astral plane, and rarely find their way to Earth without being summoned.

Imagoes are created by the Selenim's Anamorphosis. Unlike Elemental Beasts, they are intelligent and may hold conversations with their creator. Sufficiently powerful Imagoes may even take on a life of their own, and some of the more intelligent and powerful summons may be these independent Imagoes.

Dragons are Elemental Beasts composed of all five Ka-elements, like the Nephilim's Paredri. Little is known about them beyond myths and legends, though both Strength and The Devil describe them as manifestations of primordial chaos. They are associated with unusual magical places known as the Dragon's Gates. Nephilim generally don't like to think about the implications of Dragons and Paredri being the only types of elementals with five Ka-elements...

Necrophages are a very rare and dangerous type of Ghost. Normally Ghosts are limited to half the Solar-Ka they had in life which then decreases over time until they're gone for good, but Necrophages are able to increase theirs and their resulting power by predating on other ghosts! They only get more terrifying from there. All of the known ones are believed to have been extinguished by the Unnamed Arcanum centuries ago, but you never know...

In third edition, different spirits had different Characteristics. Summoned beings had Contract, Black Summons had BMK, Ghosts had Solar-Ka plus Torment, Elementals had Powerful... to simplify all that, I'm taking inspiration from 5e and assigning all spirits a universal "Menacing" Characteristic. This is used to determine their overall power level and capacity to inflict and resist magical attacks. The most powerful are beyond game statistics!
