Asian mythology is a very broad generalization. The Kitsune will appear in Season 3 and it is a Japanese mythological spirit/creature. But the Kitsune can also be called a nine-tailed fox. The nine-tailed fox is present in Chinese mythology as well.

The Kanima is said to be mutation in the werewolf gene, which indicates that there are werewolves living in South America and presumably other places around the world.

Maybe the mythology of supernatural shapeshifting people are all tied together by a common link? For example, werewolves are called different names around the world. Maybe the Kanima has a different name on a different country?

In Buddhist tradition, the Naga is a serpentine creature that can revert back into a human appearance. The Kanima is also said to have wings in its next stage of development. While we never see the evolved form of the Kanima, it is possible Asian myth confuses it for a dragon.

While it is very unlikely to see the Kanima appear this season, it would be interesting to explore the bestiary for more supernatural creatures...
