Not really. They're all varied from their real world legends, but the words have the same definitions.

Definition of werewolf: "a human who has changed into a wolf, or is capable of assuming the form of a wolf, while retaining human intelligence"

Defintion of kanima: this an obscure enough legend that there's not a dictionary definition, but if you actually look up the real world legends (with the various other spellings) it turns out kanimas appear in a number of animal forms, so it's pretty much summed up as a "malicious shapechanger who kills murderers". Gosh that does sound familiar.

Definition of kitsune: "intelligent, magical fox spirits"

Definition of banshee: "a female spirit whose wailing warns of impending death"

Nope, those definitions are still all spot on.
