Every single supernatural on the show thus far has been a shapeshifter in traditional mythology even if they haven't shown any shapeshifting abilies in the show. Kitsunes = obviously fox shapeshifter, Banshees = crows/weasel/hare, Oni, Wendigos, Berzerkers, Werewolves, Werecoyotes, Werejaguars, Kanimas. Hell, the only thing that may be a non shapeshifting supernatural is the Mute if he is indeed based off of Astomi but considering outside of his mouth he doesn't have any of the Astomi traits other than the lack of mouth (hairy, rough skin, not needing food or drink to survive, carrying roots and flowers) which maybe mean than he is just disfigured.

...but phoenix does seem like a good guess Well what do you suggest? Salamander, Ifrit, Djin, Garuda, Mongolian Death worm or hell even a dragon To be honest I have no idea what he is, like I said phoenix does seem like a good guess, I was just pointing out that it would be weird for Jeff to just abandon the theme for the supernatural creatures he's been building on for 4 seasons. Personaly I liked the idea of using shapeshifters that he's been going with and I hope he sticks with it because it made the supernaturals more realistic while still staying fairly true to the source material without reinventing it (I mean who wouldn't notice if ghouls and giants and obviously noticable supernaturals in a world where everyone has a camera phone and access to the internet). However if he took it a different direction I wouldn't mind because Jeff hasn't let me down yet.
