I think I've seen the Momool Ja around too.
Spriggan have been show to have some form of sentience, but it's never been stated that they're on the level of Beastmen. Certain races are labeled beast "men" because they more or less possess the same level of sentience or capability as the five races, though this usually isn't the case for various reasons.
Some fall outside the stereotypes of their races, which is seen in certain quest chains, but it isn't frequent.
Suffice it to say, Qiqirin and Gigas are in fact Beastmen. We don't know if the Qiqirin have a primal, but it's highly, highly likely that the Gigas revere Shiva, given their nature in-game as the only beastmen race that normally inhabits the frigid north to our current knowledge.
Qiqirin fall under the category of Beastmen that have the ability to mingle with the five races, as do Goblins and Mamool Ja. Mamool Ja were actually called to Eorzea from over the seas after the Calamity at the behest of Eorzeans, due to the dire need for laborers and mercenaries to battle dangerous wildlife in wake of all the destruction. The adventuring profession has recently made a re-emergence, and that's the main reason you see many Mamool Ja resorting to banditry. Adventurers are a much, much more reliable workforce.
