It could be another "legend," seeing how RWBY is full of tales that turn out to be true. Going along with the legend of the silver-eyed warriors, there could be a legend of red-eyed warriors that could shapeshift. It's okay to do that with Ruby because they set it up as such since episode one, but if they overdo it then it'll turn into Deus ex machina. Many already believe that Rwby's burst of light from her eyes were already deus ex machina because it wasn't foreshadowed correctly or enough. (Ozpin noting that her eyes are silver, is it enough to be considered foreshadowing?)

So no, I dont think it's another "legend" and I hope they dont keep doing that. It would make things too convenient.
