I have a couple ideas:

1. The Kung-Fu Yin Style Baguazhang employs the use of eight animals that coordinate with the bagua trigram symbols;
 * ☰ (Sky) - Lion, associated with the element of Metal
 * ☱ (Lake) - Monkey, associated with the element of Metal
 * ☲ (Fire) - Rooster, associated with the element of Fire
 * ☳ (Thunder) - Dragon, associated with the element of Wood
 * ☴ (Wind) - Phoenix, associated with the element of Wood
 * ☵ (Water) - Snake, associated with the element of Water
 * ☶ (Mountain) - Bear, associated with the element of Earth
 * ☷ (Earth) - Unicorn or Qilin, associated with the element of Earth

Using this, and taking some form of zord evolution, than you can have;
 * Monkey to "Warrior"/Turtle and Serpent
 * Lion to Tiger
 * Unicorn to Qilin
 * Snake to Dragon
 * Rooster to Phoenix

2. The animals of the Chinese zodiac have assigned animals:
 * Metal = Monkey and Rooster
 * Earth = Ox, Ram/Goat and Dog
 * Fire = Snake and Horse
 * Wood = Tiger, Rabbit and Dragon
 * Water = Rat/Mouse and Boar

3. Based on animals associated with the more common 5 elements:
 * Fire = Lion/Tiger
 * Water = Shark/Dolphin
 * Earth = Wolf/Bear
 * Wood (Air) = Eagle/Hawk
 * Metal (Aether) = Unicorn

This is the best I can come up with. Hope you like them.
