- "I've spent my entire existence trying to create a world without weakness, without outcasts. I sought to create a stronger being but there's no such thing. Human beings are weak, pathetic, feeble minded creatures. Why be human at all when we can be so much more? Faster, stronger, smarter, this is my gift to you!"
The Original Kanima is the very first and most powerful kanima ever to exist and is also one of the Original Monsters, thus being one of the Original Immortal Genes, as there was only one Kanima during their Genesis.

Little is known about how the Original Kanima came to be, but as he is one of the Original Monsters, he is stated to be thousands of years old. He has also mentioned that he has been wanting to meet Oracle for many millennia.
Powers and Abilities[]
Being the very first and most powerful Kanima in creation as well as one of the Original Monsters, the Original Kanima possesses the usual kanima physiology, however he has arguably the highest and since he transforms into a large lizard-like humanoid creature. This gives him superiority to humans in every physical and mental way, and also gave him new abilities not seen in any other Kanima. The Original Kanima is faster and stronger than any normal Kanima or Werewolf and has existed for centuries undetected by human kind due to the fact it could disguise itself for centuries. It had been creating its own kind (through turning and "spawning") and it was hinted that it spawned Jackson Whittemore, although it isn't the Kanima "Alpha" plaguing Beacon Hills. As the Original Kanima, it is far stronger than any Kanima since turned or born. The Original Kanima is so intelligent at hunting that it is considered an Apex predator, meaning that it is a predator with no predators of their own, residing at the top of its food chain.
- Original Kanima Physiology - Being the very first and most powerful Kanima in creation, the Original Kanima possesses the usual kanima physiology, however he has arguably the highest degree. This gives him superiority to humans, other monsters, and even all other kanimas in every physical and mental way, and also gave him new abilities not seen in any other Kanima. The Original Kanima is one of the most powerful characters shown in the Bloodrayne and Mia the Vampire Slayer universe, with only the other Original Monsters only being capable of equaling/rivaling him and only Higher Angels and the Primordial Beings are his superiors. The Original Kanima possesses the following abilities:
- Superhuman Strength - The Original Kanima has remarkable superhuman strength, making it far stronger than any Human, Werewolf, Kanima or Alpha that it were to come across and able to lift weight that no human ever could.

- Superhuman Agility - The Original Kanima possesses a level of agility that is superior to even the finest human athletes, making it far more agile than any Werewolf, Kanima or Alpha. However, his agility is on par with the likes of the Original Werewolf. The Original Kanima was able to climb all the way to the top of Oscorp Tower very quickly, jump amazing heights, and coordinate his body with unnatural equilibrium, dexterity, and flexibility and his reflexes are capable of reacting much better than ordinary human beings. He can dodge incoming attacks and projectiles with great swiftness, respond to surprise attacks from Rayne with ease, and even showing he could out-react Rayne on occasion.

The Original Kanima is also immune to Kanima Venom. The Original Kanima can also heal much quicker than even most other supernatural creatures. The Original Kanima could heal from multiple gunshot wounds within a few seconds, and can even regrow/regenerate a lost tail in a matter of seconds when Oracle ripped it off, and he could even regrow his lost arm. Even despite being partially frozen, the Original Kanima was able to fully heal from shotgun wounds within seconds.

- Astral-Illusion Projection - The Original Kanima can project his mental form and appear as an illusion, this method is used when they have a meeting over long distances.
- Compulsion - Like vampires, the Original Kanima has the ability to dominate human minds and the weak minded of each species, making them do as they wish with no recollection of actually partaking in the event until (in a human's case) they are turned.
- Species Hierarchy - As the dominant predator of their species and the most capable of leading them, the Original Kanima has the power to command his species how he sees fit, if he commands them to do something they will subconsciously work towards that goal either willingly or not.
- Claws - The Original Kanima's claws are extremely sharp and dangerous. Not only can he climb up walls with them, but he can penetrate dense objects.
