My favorite theory that won't be true but I thought it will interesting development, Hydes aren't actually natural species, but a "Mutated engineered versions" of Werewolfs, that were created in Willow Hill.
Okay listen to me here, I know some people here got tired over the hydes topic and think they are overused, me too in some regards but I personally just find them more wasted in potential and weak writing, rather than not be interesting by themselves.
* I also will address it here right now, of curse it doesn't make sense this theory because Hydes were existed longer than that as we told in season 1, but here the idea anyway.
* also this theory is sort of my first "process" to start analyzing of Enid and Tyler reflected journeys.
I'm sure everyone here that ever though on what be a hyde will feel like was probably found it a bit...awful?
Hydes are an outcasts among outcasts, they are considering too violent, unstable and unable to be trusted of.
However it go deeper than it, hydes as it own kind are the definition of slaves, they see the person who unlocked their hyde form as their master, hydes also unlock their forms for the first time only in painful, emotional hurt and traumatic ways.
Basically, hydes seem to be born to a fucked up lifes with limted agency and rejection, the thing is, it sound very unnatural existence, I know in some stories and shows and fantasies worlds things like that are part of the world building with slaves specie, but I like to think it something else.
Hydes to me work a bit similar to werewolfs, why?
Transformation into some beast like creature, very dangerous and in under some roles/conditions.
It seem to be rally on their emotional state.
I won't elaborate much on this this time but Tyler and Enid seem to have "opposite journeys" and arcs in the show, adding to the parallels between Werewolfs and Hydes.
My original theory(before remembered Hydes were comfirmed to be studied years ago by Weems word), is that Willow Hill and the Stonehearst family(Judi father) or his previous superiors ones in the asylum had an early concept of stealing Outcasts abilities, but different method, try to use Werewolfs patients biology to experiment on Normeis and make a Mutated engineered versions of Werewolfs.
Hyde has werewolfs aspects but the opposite of werewolfs:
Change form to dangerous beast, but look like unhealthy zombie versions of themselves.
Werewolfs live in packs, Hydes are sort of looniler by nature.
Werewolfs wolf out shown in postive way as freedom, Tyler mother and Issac describe it as curse that imprisone their life, which they aren't wrong.
All the wepoanize accept of werewolfs but without the accept that will avoid them be controlled by someone, on the opposite, hydes naturally seem to be force obey their masters, even physically believe they should at first even their masters tortured them(however Laurel and Tyler condition may be different).
In the end those plans ended and Willow hill changed path, but they were enough patients who got changed by those experiments and over the years spread the hydes dnd across their families, part of why they are so small in numbers and lacking information of them.
It can also be a key part of Enid and Tyler maybe end things on nicer terms? Tyler in season 3 and I don't see what else they will give him aside redemption arc, so him and Enid sort of partnership can be a way to nicely end this. Obviously in that case something else made hydes be werewolfs Mutated versions of themselves.
What do you think?
