I think personality being a key factor to what they become makes sense in some level for normal supernatural creatures, but the Dread Doctors were shown to engineer their mutations in a way they turn into whatever the Doctors want them to. Tracy never shifted into a full kanima like Jackson, she always looked half reptile instead of completely losing human features while transformed, and while it's maybe because she didn't know how to use her full potential, I think it's because that's how the Doctors wanted her to be. A creature like her would be extremely unlikely (but I suposse possible, since uncommon or even unique mutations can happen in biology), but since she was artificially created Tracy was truly both a werewolf and a kanima at the same time. Even tough a kanima is a genetic mutation caused by physicological factors, through DNA manipulation the DD apparently managed to create a creature that was both it's regular form (werewolf), and one of it's mutations (kanima) at the same time.

So I don't think Corey's personality (or that of any other chimera) would actually impact what he would become, at best he could try to repress a side of it, but he would still have it, and eventually it would shown up. Because that's how the DD made him.

Also since the DD used supernatural elements in their experiments, I think what they did lies more in the realm of alchemy instead of regular chemistry and genetic manipulation. Basically they did supernatural science.

As for the alternate dimensions, I agree that wathever Hell and the home of the Wild Hunt where, they weren't separeted (at least not entirely) from the "main" reality. There was some connection that between them, like separeted realms in diferrent frequencies, or like you said dimensional pockets, but existing within the same universe.

And I don't think the train stations where the home of the Wild Hunt, based on what was shown in canon that was just a prison/processing plant for their victims and future ghost ridders. I think they had always the same method to achieve their goals: they opened portals to a place, kidnapped everyone, put them in the "train stations" were they would be put in a stupor and slowly indocrinated and twisted by the energies of the place (with rare exceptions, like Stiles), closed the portals when everyone was already captured, and then completed the process turning them into riders.

What dosen't make sense to me is why every rider dresses and acts like a cowboy, they should look and behave differently (specially in combat depending) on who they were before, where they're from and from when. Wouldn't it be cool to have multiple types of riders? Like knights, vikings, hoplites and others instead of just cowboys!

But I guess it's because the Teen Wolf writers just really liked cowboys. Or didn't have enough budget to have multiple types of them.

I was thinking about Corey and how his ability is to become invisible as well as seeing and apparently interacting with other dimensions, and even link them, and that's really cool but I fell like he should also have abilities that help him in combat, wich is something that happens a lot in Teen Wolf. Specially in S5, when pretty much all he could do was become invisible, because apparently the Dread Doctors created him with chamaleon DNA and... another random creature?

Theo was a werewolf/werecoyote, Belasko was a werewolf/garuda, Tracy was a werewolf/kanima, Josh was a werewolf/ell, Donovan was a wendigo/lamprey, but Corey? All we know is that he's (apparently) part chamaleon, and if we deduce that wathever additional DNA that was used to create him was from some kind of dimentional hopping being, and therefore the interdimensional part of his powers aren't from his chamaleon side, why wansn't this adressed in S5? Why didn't Theo and the Dread Doctors tried to use this side of his abilities? Why would the Dread Doctors create a chimera with such limited offensive applications?

Maybe it's bad writing, or just poor planning, like they introduced the character and only way after that decided what to do with him and how, but I think it would have been interesting if Corey had more offensive capabilities in canon.

Like if he was a chamaleon/naja chimera, he could go invisible, climb surfaces and use the naja's venom propelling capabilities along with his extendable tongue (wich he dosen't seem to have in canon, but still... chamaleon), to administer poison on his targets from a distance. He would be perfect to infiltrate instalations and silently attack threats, wich is something that would make sense for the Dread Doctors to create.

There was just so much potential with Corey, he could have been a chimera with very a unique and interesting set of abilities (even if he was a werewolf/chamaleon), but sadly I feel like he never reached his full potential as a character. Even after they gave his powers a bit more depth in S6 he never really could do much other than carry others to their destinations, it would have been great if he had a more active role instead of always being support.
