User blog comment:MrAnonymous/How much about the Kanima from the Teen Wolf series is true?/@comment-4263867-20120716031505

I think it is mostly if not completely made up.

I was reading something kind of weird about Kanimas before I lost the page I was on and I haven't been able to find it again. It was that they take different animal forms over their lives depending on the state of life they are in such as a jaguar. It also said something about abandoning baby out of fear and priest encouraging the blessing of kids to keep them from becoming monsters.
