I really wish they'd expand and go deeper into the kanima mythology but of course, I don't expect it at all. Mine too! Season 2 will forever be my favourite season ever. I too wish we get another Kanima but of course they'd have to be careful not to repeat S2. I've thought that it could be the personal guard/supernatural "pet" of some really bad guy. That's the thing though. The rules of the Kanima state that they are creatures of vengeance, that they go after murderers. At least at first, until they become more attuned to the master (though forcing them to act outside their nature has a whole host of other problems associated with it, as Matt found out).

Still the only reason someone could master a Kanima is if they had some burning need for revenge, like Matt and Gerard. Presumably after they have taken their revenge, the kanima needs to find a new master? Or does it just hang around? Or Alpha out and fly off like some kind of monstrous dragon-lizard with paralytic venom dripping from every pore? Tht was funny, but I don't think so. So long as the master was choosing to only sic the Kanima on murderers and was doing it regularly, I don't think it would leave. Maybe. Though the definition of murderer is a little murky as far as this whole thing goes. Seems to be a perception thing on the part of the master, because the Kanima could kill those douchenozzles from the swim team without an issue, but couldn't kill the woman because she was carrying a baby (and was thus, protected by it's innocence; maybe. I don't know, it's all very confusing. I want a sage old veteranarian to provide me with the real deets. See what I did there? And how terrible it was? And how he won't do it anyway?).
