Well, goats, pigs and deer all have short stiff hairs, hooves
(hides and sinew) and horns (if you count tusks). I see little problem
in Wolfe spreading his fauns across a range of ungulates.

Phea's? The soldier named Babirousa's?

Well yes, and no. Normally we think of a person's soul as individual and
indivisible. But that is not the case in this story. They are like a deck
of cards, able to be shuffled and dealt out in different combinations and
portions.
