I don't see why not - most metasapients are closer to animals that normal metahumans.

Hitch is, unless they clarified it anywhere else, a lot of GMs would probably argue that "normal (non-paranormal) critter" means "animal". Even if it allowed metahumans, anything except "human" might be considered "paranormal".
So, unless your Naga thinks it would have better luck fitting in as a snake, or your pixie would rather shop as an eagle, I'm not sure what the benefit would be.
