We've seen Kechawacha full and in action. We can say it is a Pelagus because it was already confirmed on different websites in Japanese (AFAIK and I think...) and it has everything a Pelagus must have to be one. There isn't another monster class that it could be in and it would be unnecessary to make a second for mammals.

But the shadow monster we didn't see anything but running on the wall and standing there. It was actually "shadowed" (lol) that you can't see too much. You cannot even see the face. And like I said the wings doesn't look muscular (At least for me) and it doesn't even use them in the trailer. Those "wings" could be some kind of appandages that it uses to impress a female/male, to repel rivals, dangerous monsters and nuisances and such things. Well, I can be false of course but to call it now Elder Dragon is too soon. And like I said I'm not against it being an Elder Dragon but you just jump to conclusions too early.
