Honestlycynical wrote: The alpha wouldn't get the powers of the Kitsune because they can't be a fox and a wolf at the same time. It's been implied that the Kitsune's power comes from the fox spirit once the spirit is awakened. For example, Kira had no idea she was a Kitsune and until the spirit was forced to awaken by Barrow/Nogitsune, she didn't show any powers, abilities, etc. until the Fox was "awake."

Now, she, Noshiko, and the Nogitsune are the only Kitsune we've seen on the show, and we've only seen Kira's power first activate. We don't know if this process is the same with all Kitsune, since Noshiko never explained a damn thing about it, and the Nogitsune just... doesn't explain his powers either. So, it's all speculation until we are told otherwise.

A more appropriate scenario would be:


 * Alpha of Pack A enters a pack war with Alpha of Pack B. Alpha of Pack A starts by killing a beta of Alpha B's pack. Alpha A wants to add the beta's power to his own, so he follows the Pain>Life>Power cycle.

We don't know if true Werewolves can add other creatures' powers to their own (Like Theo the Chimera was able to). I would assume Theo was a special case, being a Chimera and all, so... we can't use his literal power grab as an indication that werewolves like Scott or Deuc can steal a Kanima's venom, or an Electric Weasel's electricity.

BUT IF THEY CAN, the scenario would be:

its true that u cant be a fox and a werewolf. but stealing the power wont make u a fox. Ur stealing the power. u wont be a fox. kira is a thunder kitsune. Plus i dont think that there are alpha foxes. we know that a fox cant be a werewolf. but we havent seen an alpha fox biting a werewolf.
 * The "Beta" that Alpha A killed was a Kanima. Pack B had a Kanima master in their pack (suspend your disbelief). Alpha A absorbs the Kanima's power and gains "Kanima Venom Claws."

this is just based on my assumptions. let me knw what u think
