The Kanima thing was a rare thing. And the lizard shape went with the Kanima, I don't think it was two random variations, just one, otherwise there wouldn't have been a picture of THEIR Kanima in the bestiary, or there would've likely been a note that it takes different forms. But the only note like that we have is there's an A,pha and Beta form of the Kanima.

I don't think Scott was mistaken on the 'shape you take reflects who you are' it's just people are interpreting it weirdly because they jacked around with the Kanima mythology. Kanima are in real world mythology jaguars, but in teen wolf mythology they're a lizard thing, so they are misinterpreting the lizard thing as Jackson being cold hearted, thus he turned into a cold blooded creature. But I think that line was only ever about why he was a Kanima and not a werewolf, not about the lizard part. As for Malia and Kate, the shape you take reflecting who you are is still valid for the werecoyote and the Nagual, or were jaguar or whatever you want to call Kate. Jaguars are solitary predators, Kate went off her own way with the code. Gerard may have encouraged or instigated it, but she didn't follow the code, and seemed to be following her own rules on her own. We don't know any thing about Malia's personality when she was a child, but children do have their own personalities and she easily could've been a loner, or sneaky child. I mean, she's related to Peter.
