^^ Why would they be that different? I don't know where you're going with this. They're different species. They're suppose to be different bc of that. That's like asking why werejaguars and werewolves are suppose to be different. Because they just are not of the same species. I believe they create werecoyotes just for Malia's character arc. They could shift into full animal form with less control, explaining why they find Malia as a coyote. The mother has to give some of her power to her offspring, allowing them to use the Desert Wolf vs Malia story arc. They also seem to have an affinity to one another, explaining why Malia trusted Theo "first", as he was part werecoyote. These are the only differences between werecoyotes and werewolves, and they all pertain to Malia's story. So yeah, the only differences they make are ones that fit Malia's story. :P Yeah, it's kind of disappointing but they couldn't have done the Desert Wolf story without making Malia something other than a werewolf, so it's justified. If the other differences were taken out the story, it wouldn't make a difference, but the mother-offspring power shift is important to the story.

This episode was weird. Did the editing seem choppy to you guys? It went from Mason giving Theo and Liam supplies to Nolan and a pair of hunters being where they are? Did I miss something here? The ending seemed abrupt too.
