{{kanimaMain| size: large; margin-top: 5px; margin-left: 10px; float: right}}In the Teen Wolf universe, the Kanima is a shapeshifter with reptilian characteristics such as those of a snake or lizard.
However, it's said the kanima is not a natural species. The transformation into a kanima is a mutation of the shapeshifter's gene. It is an abomination.
The Kanima's sole purpose is to be an instrument of vengeance. It seeks out a Master who desires revenge upon others. Thisbeingindividual will then use the shapeshifter to carry out his retribution, to kill those the Master perceivescondemnes as murderers.
During [[Season 2]], [[Jackson Whittemore]] transforms into this shapeshifter, after being [[Alphas+The Bite|Bitten]] by [[Derek Hale]].
At the end of the season, Jackson is cured of being a Kanima, fully transforming into a [[werewolf]]. He later on retains some of his Kanima characteristics in lieu of his werewolf abilities.
In[[4x11 - A Promise to the Dead|A Promise to the Dead]][[4x11 - A Promise to the Dead]], another Kanima, distinguished by it's scaled claws, appears as a prisoner in the Eichen House level for supernatural prisoners.
In [[Season 5]], kanima was the primary genetic makeup for the [[Chimera]], [[Tracy Stewart]].
