It is indicative of where my head is at that all the examples I can think of are of clans that, once identified, should be politely invited to spend the night at the local Marriot watching television instead:

Ant: volunteer to clean up and set up and do all the prep work and never quite get around to participating in the rituals

Anteater: spend all your time exhorting Ants to stop working so hard, without actually doing anything yourself

Armadillo: sit through the entire Covening superficially participating in everything while carefully making sure nothing touches you where you're vulnerable

Butterfly: really dress up for the occasion and flit from one group to another so everyone can admire you, distracting everyone's concentration in the process

Chimpanzee: wander around poking sticks into things, asking questions, taking things apart to see how they work, intellectualize everything

OK, OK, I'll stop.
Lord I'm in a bad mood this morning.

If this sort of thing interests you; years and years ago I started writing up my version of "personalities as animal totems" for some project or other.
