Mythologically speaking, no to monsters and 'metahumans', yes to Homo magi superiors.

In the myth, they are extremely powerful witches capable of casting a variety of spells. They gained the power to shapeshift by breaking a social taboo. like the killing of a family member or their entire family.

Extreme cases said that a female witch would have a baby and kill it so that she could gain the power to shapeshift.
