Most of these bios are pretty lame anyway so I'll continue to go by the past 30 years of MOTU, not Scott's storyline. As for the Shadow beast, they are Eternian wildlife, nothing more. "Granamy" is a dragon. By that fact, he is independent of these factions as well. Your examples don't hold up well for arguments sake.
As for symmetry being boring, more power to you. Speaking for myself, I don't interject my opinions into things that bore me, but again, that's just me.
