I'm requesting a "Zodiac" template that changes a the base creature into an incorporeal Fine swarm with the Outsider type, but retains the base creature's space and reach. I'm not sure what abilities to give them though. Uncanny Positive Energy Mastery, perhaps? I don't know what sort of special qualities and attacks a miniature embodiment of a constellation would have.
However, I don't want to give them the traditional designations and variants of Taurus, Cancer, Gemini, etc. It just doesn't feel right giving a Cogent the Scorpio zodiac sign. Furthermore, there should supposedly exist a zodiac sign for every type of creature imaginable (as much as the concept of constellations is absurd in a setting where everybody can be on different planets), and each Zodiac creature should be a reification of that constellation.
The attached pictures (courtesy of Guild Wars: Factions, a phoenix and a dragon) are what I had in mind for their appearance: a faint golden outline of the base creature with star-like motes of light in its body, making up its "skeleton". However, I would make the lights a bit smaller, and I would also add golden lines connecting each one (making a sort of "connect the dots" wireframe).
