I think it's really interesting how animalistic Fortuna, Oberon, and Nemean are, design wise.
Titan Fortuna has the Cerberus/3-headed wolf aesthetic
Titan Oberon is like a mix of deer, moose, and gorilla
Titan Nemean is described like a mix of lion and ape as well
Now, obviously, Oberon has the excuse of Prancer and Moose costumes being deer and moose themed, and the shard copying that.
But what's interesting for Fortuna is that she only took on the wolf theme, because in her culture, wolves are the creatures of the night to be feared and respected.
So where does that leave Nemean? Victor never has lion imagery to my recollection, especially not in costume...
But there is a part of the story that may give a clue. At several points, the story has the interlude or Victoria pov flashback to a young Victor, and mentions how he's taken on skills to hide his fear or how Victoria saw him as a terrified teenager.
So my hypothesis is that the reason Victor turned into the Nemean Titan, is because he internalized himself the "cowardly lion", who hides behind a bunch of bluster and bluffs.
