Keep in mind, however, the Kanima turned out to be a mutation of the werewolf gene so the "pack" order may also be inherited. The beta Kanima seeks a master which also seems to indicate some sort of group need.

I'm not saying this is an absolute but just something to keep in mind. I also agree that it could have just been a way of describing the next evolution process.
