Kanima, I don't think so. The way it's been described in the show is that it is a werewolf bite given to someone who has no concept of their own identity that turns them into the Kanima. Now, I can see a Kanima coming about from any other werecreature gone 'wrong.' But, I don't know,I don't see Kanima going around and trying to turn anyone in general.

Whatever the hell Kate actually is... Possibly. I can see werecreatures all being fairly interchangeable. I would think most would turn into whatever bit them, but certain personalities being strong enough to override the direct change into a creature more similar to themselves.

Yeah, it just seems like the werewolf gene mutates a bit. That is the question though. . . is the werewolf gene the source of it all or are there other influencing players?
