I'm pretty sure we're not finding out what he is until season 5. I know, I'm disappointed too. Davis does love to drag things out, doesn't he? :P

And no, I'm sorry, he is not a fire kitsune. Sorry to rain on the parade here, but there's so many possibilities I don't know why everyone is clinging to ones that aren't possible.

Yes, the eyes were similar to Kira's but other than there is no reason whatsoever to believe this -- remember that Derek absolutely knew what Kira was before she did? Because werewolves could see the aura that she didn't know how to hide yet? And because clearly Derek knew about kitsunes. But when talking to Parrish, Derek was clueless -- and so was Scott (who still has wolf powers so presumably he could have, y'know, looked for the aura if it was there.) Parrish is also clueless so there's no way he could be hiding his aura.

Furthermore, Kira survived electricity completely unscathed and didn't even seem to feel pain from it. Cut to Parrish screaming as he's set on fire? He survived unscathed but it obviously didn't feel good. So if he is a fire kitsune, they're absolutely nothing like thunder kitsunes and it sounds like being one sucks. :P
