"According to Teen Wolf Mythology, the Kanima was created when Jackson Whittemore's emotional issues caused his body to reject the bite of an Alpha."

"Instead of becoming a werewolf, Jackson transformed into a snake. We are led to believe that this shape reflected his inner turmoil and outward behavior."

"The Kanima is a mutation of the werewolf gene that cannot fully transform until it resolves that in its past which manifest it.” So...it's all of the above? That's not how mutations work, but it's what the writers described, so I guess I can't complain about it much. :P Wait, it didn't say anything about him being an orphan though. :/

Also, why was Kate a werejaguar? Because she's sly and a b*tch like a jaguar? Or because she got turned by a scratch - a very rare method of transformation?
