These shape-shifters are a mutation of the Werewolf gene.
Their sole purpose is to be an instrument of vengeance. Like a Werewolf, a Kanima's powers are greatest during a full moon.
Kanimas are characterized by claws that secrete a venom which paralyzes their victims for hours, a double row of sharp fangs, and a tail. Kanimas heal quickly, even after taking multiple wounds to the chest.
Unless a Kanmia can resolve what in its past caused its mutation, it will eventually enter a cocooned stage and emerge as a winged creature.
Unlike a Werewolf, a Kanima seeks a master instead of a pack. It will carry out whatever vengeance its master bids.
