As shown on the show sometimes the changes caused by the "Bite" reflect the person you are and cause that person to transform into something that isn't a werewolf.

Jackson's lack of identity and sense of belonging made him into a Kanima.

Kate Argent . . . well honestly don't know enough about werejaguars and what was the contributing factor for Kate's change into one. The best I can come up with is that Kate was a predator, she preferred to hunt alone, and she got turned by a claw wound. Cats claws generally cause wounds to fester. That all I got for why she turned into a werejaguar.

On to Malia. We don't know if Malia's mother was anything supernatural but Peter was a natural born werewolf. On a fool moon, Malia changed and caused the car to crash killing her mother and sister. I think that because of that incident Malia became a werecoyote rather than a werewolf.

As a result of the car crash Malia's first thoughts were to survival. Coyote's are survivors. Also, the guilt of her family's death made her feel ostracized or like she wouldn't be welcome back home. So she hung around the fringe of society like a coyote does.

Even now she is still in flight or fight mode. I think that once she feels accepted and not an outsider to the human world she might become a werewolf. Similar to Jackson and his Key. Except we dont know what happend first. Jackson and kates first transformations were as what they are now..well except jackson. What it seems like your implying is that malia turned into a werewolf accidentally caused the crashed and then turned from a werewolf to a coyote?
