Some people in the notes are confused by this, so allow me to explain! Most people get bitten and turn into a wolf, as you do.

Scott McCall as a werewolf

If your vibes are too rancid, you instead turn into a venomous, mind-controllable lizard.

Jackson Whittemore as a kanima

And if you girlboss too close to the Sun, you turn into a werejaguar!

Kate Argent as a werejaguar

Venomous lizards and jaguars are, of course, related to wolves. Obviously. But werecoyotes are a completely different species, and it’s rude to confuse the two.

Malia Tate as a werecoyote

Hope this helps!

the greatest plot point in Teen Wolf is still, without question, the fact that sometimes turning into a werewolf goes wrong and you turn into a lizard instead
