Loup-garou technically already exist in the BoMverse, and indeed they're humans cursed to become animals, so I feel they'd count as having human essentia - and they encompass werewolves, so that solves two. Skinwalkers are already doing what the masks do but with actual skins - that is, they're already humans but they replace their imago with those of other creatures. (The "Party of Five" branch has the villains effectively become skinwalkers.) I'd say they could put on masks as long as they're not wearing skins, since it'd count as wearing two masks at once. That said, they *could* wear mind bands and be affected by anima bands even if they're wearing skins - provided, of course, they're not human skins, since otherwise you'd have three minds.

As for wendigo, they're effectively like sasquatches, so I place them on the "dubious" group. The same could be said of the ettin, of which there are two branches that deal with them - they're more beast than human, which would cause a huge conflict.

Note, though, that you *could* make the masks work on other creatures, but to do so, you'd need to alter the sigil so that it either eliminates the "check for human essentia" requirement (therefore making it copy any imago, including that of inanimate objects) or expand the definition of that subroutine to "check for essentia", which as it is a trait of living beings means it'll only apply to living creatures. (But of course, that would require a genius, and the stories would quickly become insanely weird.)
