The bite is the more effective method of accomplishing this. Less so is a scratch. For one factor, the claws have to go deep, i.e. clawing out someone's throat, but there's still no guarantee. Once the process starts, the human victim will normally transform into a new [[betas|beta shapeshifter]].

{{AlphaClaw|margin-left: 5px; float: right}}When [[Jackson Whittemore]] was bitten by Derek Hale, he instead became a [[kanima]]. Likewise, when [[Peter Hale]] clawed out [[Kate Argent]]'s throat in [[1x12 - Code Breaker]], she transformed then came back to life as a [[werejaguar]].
 
The transformation requires no act of will by the alpha to take effect. In [[2x12 - Master Plan]], [[Gerard Argent]] impaled his arm on Derek's fangs, and though Derek was forced and unwilling, Gerard still counted as being bitten. Likewise, Peter's sole intention was to murder Kate when he clawed out her throat.
 
If however, the transformation process does not take, it will eventually kill the victim. Derek's first love, [[Paige]] failed to transform, simply because the bite was totally fatal to her instead.
 
If a [[banshee]] is bitten they will neither transform nor die because they are immune. However, a bite can be used to to activate the banshee's innate abilities.
 
Furthermore, because the transformative process changes the body, the bite can be used to [[nogitsune+kitsunetsuki|exorcise the recipient of a dark kitsune's possession]].
