The cameo shift is when a therian experiences a shift related to an animal that is not one of the therian's theriotypes.

Cameo shifts and Polyweres
Many therians who are only just learning about therianthropy may confuse Cameo Shifts for true theriotypes, resulting in therians who think they are five- or six-theriotyped polyweres when they actually may only have one or two true theriotypes.
Criticism
Some therians believe that all shifts that a therian experiences are related to a theriotype. They explain cameo shifts as a shift that is either imagined, or as a shift related to an animal that is, in fact, a theriotype of the therian that just happens to not express many shifts.
