'The Two Kanima

There are several visible differences in the appearance of the kanima creature seen early in the season and those in later episodes.

The scales of the face are shaped and arrayed differently, early kanima had squared off and pointy scales while the later version was more rounded.

The overall shape of the face is different, with early kanima displaying a weak chin and later kanima with an oversized square-jawed dimpled chin.

One possible explanation for the difference is that Colton Haynes was not behind the kanima make-up most of the shoot due to allergies. The differences might also be due to the evolution of the character make-up over the course of months of shooting.' That's from the Kanima page on this website.
