Everyone says its a kanima and perhaps it is but can we be sure they are the only known reptile shifters? As Paul would say, they don't exist in the universe until teen wolf tells us they do. Actually, in this case, those creatures seen at Eichen House do exist - we just don't know what they are yet. There are two, as yet unnamed, supernatural creatures living in Eichen House.

It's like Parrish - He could be anything. He is an unknown in the current universe. Once he is classified - the universe will change to absorb the new information and whatever he turns out to be will have existed in the Teen Wolf Universe all along.

Has anyone mentioned that the Kanima-like hand looked female?

How am I wrong exactly? We have only been told that there is one reptilian supernatural creature at this point in time. Should that not be what we assume this one is until we are told otherwise?

Would it have been more appropriate to have responded to their question as 'no other reptilian shifters besides the Kanima are known to exist in the universe at this time' or 'then only certain thing we can be sure of is Kanima are the only known reptilian shifter in the universe at this time'?

What I'm wondering about this is will it finally clear up a miscommunication some of the fans seem to have that Jackson was reptilian because he was a jackass, not because that's what this universe's Kanima looks like.
