Grimm Forum

Noticed there was no list where people can not only post fan-created wesen, but also get feedback on them. So I made one. I will even share some ideas, though I don't have names for all of them yet.

Duguichik (full face) - A smaller and often portly sort of Wesen, these little fellows are hamster-like and when woged get cute faces and big cheek pouches. They are known for being adorable even when not woged. However, any Grimm who's dealt with one, and any wesen will tell you that they all have a very strong tendency to be assholes. They are also known for having strong anti-social tendencies, and seem to hate their own kind quite a great deal. They are greedy, cantankerous and very nocturnal. While they don't tend to kill people, they will pick fights with pretty much anything and anyone, only to realise soon after starting the fight that they can't win it.

Tamumchafu (Foul Sweet)- A honey badger like wesen. Having encountered normal honey badgers on his trip to africa, the Grimm who discovered these particularly bellicose wesen decided that his time was better spent observing the local flora rather than tangle with such a being. Their skin is impervious to most weapons, even shrugging off gunshots, something that only serves to make them even more pissed off than they were before. Unlike some other fearless Wesen, where their lack of fear comes from being rather stupid, a Tamumchafu's lack of fear of pretty much anything comes from the fact that they are more than a match for pretty much anything they come in contact with. They are extremely fond of honey, and sweet things, and will brave pretty much anything to get their next fix of a sweet treat. They are immune to most toxins, and extremely capable fighters. They are also cunning beings, and skilled fighters. However they aren't ones to start fights unless they have been pressed to or their honour has been questioned. They are also extremely smelly, and can emit an extremely foul odour if they need to defend themselves from a threat that their claws and teeth can't handle. It is because if this last quality that even the most extreme of Grimms have put them on a list of "really not worth the effort" unless the Tamauchafu in question is actually causing a problem. This is one of the rare things that most Grimms and Wesen agree on. Their tendency to castrate anyone who angers them enough only adds to the lack of appeal and general consensus that they are best left to their own devices.

Ysgyfarnoggwallgof (Insane Hare)- It is a pity that this Wesen first came from wales, only because their name is near damned impossible to pronounce, they are known for being skilled boxers, and females are known to only take mates who can best them in a boxing match. If threatened they will punch and kick an attacker with devastating blows. They were known for being great warriors of welsh culture, and are proud of such heritage. Any suggestion that they are cowards or dishonourable will be met with a swift punch to the jaw, and likely the fool who suggested such laying out cold on the floor. They are proud and foolhardy beings who live life to the fullest. They are known for being rather gluttonous, being described by other wesen as "stomachs on legs" on more than one occasion. While females will only breed with equals, both males and female have a reputation of being extremely horny, though also very rough in bed.

Encantado- A virile and extremely interesting type of Wesen. They are infertile with their own species. These Amazonia wesen became known to Grimms after one particular specimen impregnated all the married and unmarried girls in a village. They are rather unique among Wesen, in that they come in two amazingly different forms. While all of their kind are flirtatious lives of the party and are skilled in the ways of magic, to a point that is said to rival even a hexenbeast (though their magic is much more shamanistic and connected to nature), they have two woged forms. A blue serpentine form and a pink dolphin form.

Klugekatze (Clever Cat)- a feline wesen known for having, strangely, a close alliance with Grimms and an extreme hatred of Siegbarste. These cunning and witty Wesen are quick to help Grimm deal with their hated foe. When not engaged in combat with Sigebarste, they are loyal and friendly companions to all they come across, though they can be trusted with the life of those they value when meeting one on the street, be wary as these tricksters see robbing people blind and elevating those they serve (and therefore themselves) as an amusing pastime. Even if they gain nothing from it they will engage in such trickery because they see it as a challenge. They are also exceptionally curious, and prone to disobeying direct orders seemingly out of spite. They also have an extreme love of shoes and boots and generally have large collections of fine footwear. They will happily steal shoes if they are unable to afford them, though are more likely to con someone out of their shoes.

Gesangmimik (Singing Mimic)- A Lyrebird Wesen, these beings were once believed to be able to steal people's voices. However this is completely false, they are simply able to mimic any sound they hear perfectly. This includes people's voices. While they are boisterous and loud, they are also one of the completely inoffensive species of Wesen, and therefore don't usually find themselves the targets of Grimm (aside from of course the more extreme Grimm). When Woged they have dull brown plumage. However the males also gain an impressive tail that serves absolutely no purpose whatsoever. They are often found as singers, comedians and entertainers.

Bahati Kifalme (Royal Fortune)- A Royal (or Ball) Python Wesen, these serpentine wesen are extremely docile, unlike many of their brethren. They are known to be extreme pacifists, going to great lengths to avoid conflict by bluffing, fleeing or assuming defensive stances. They will only fight if pressed to it. The thing this extremely shy Wesen is most known for is having an extreme variety of appearances when woged, mirroring the Royal Pythons thousands of morphs.

Valraven (Raven of the Slain)- A terrifying militaristic Wesen, these creatures enjoy battle for the sake of it. First recorded in Denmark, these beings when woged have an appearance that marries raven and wolf, and are one of the few wesen who have wings when woged. They have an extreme woge, with their hands turning into talons and their faces becoming beaks that brim with wolf's teeth. In the days of old they often acted as knights, with their own twisted code of honour. They will bargain for or steal children to eat their hearts, as they believe this gives them great power. Valravens hate Grimm, and will attack them on sight, not giving up until slain. They are not afraid to use innocents to keep the fight going on as long as possible, and revel in fights that cause the greatest amount of bloodshed possible.

Huldera/Hulderkall (Hidden Folk)- Forest people, these Wesen have a very subdued woge. At least in their face. They simply gain fox-like eyes and long elven ears. However the rest of their body changes drastically. Their back becomes hollow and they gain a fox's tail. They have a high tendency of accidentally woging, and therefore often wear long clothing to cover their tails should this happen. They are extremely strong, matching strength with Wesen much larger than them. They are generally kind creatures, though if wronged they won't hesitate to beat someone until they end up scarred. However they will not kill the person who wronged them, as they wish them to live with what they've done.

Here are my fan-created Wesen.


Adlermimik (German: “Eagle Mimic”). When woged, these Wesen grow a multitude of grey, black and white feathers. The eyes turn bright yellow, metallic blue claws grow from the fingers and the nose forms a hooked black beak. They live in flocks of between four and eight individuals and, given the opportunity, will actively hunt a number of other Wesen species including Stangebar, Lausenschlange, Mauzhertz, Indole Gentile, Seelengut and Reinigen.


Flussgeist (German: “River Spirit”). These aquatic Wesen resemble river dolphins. When woged, their skin is a mixture of grey and pale pink and the lower half of the face stretches out to become a pointed snout. A small curved fin grows from the back. They are very shy, preferring not to venture too far from their home waterway.


Gehornterkopf (German: “Horned Head”). These rare Wesen resemble Triceratops. When woged, the back of the head spreads out to form a shield and the skin becomes a pattern of grey, orange and white scales. Two 3-foot horns grow from the ridges above the eyes whilst a smaller horn forms on the bridge of the nose. They live in small herds of around ten individuals. To prevent inbreeding, the young are pushed out of their family herd once they reach the age of 16.


Habataki-Hebi (Japanese: “Feathered Snake”). Half reptile, half bird. When woged, they have fiery orange eyes, bright metallic blue scales and a crest of feathers running from the top of the head to the base of the neck. The colour of the feathers depends on gender; males have gold feathers while the feathers on the females are silver. They prefer to be alone, only coming together to breed.


Himmel-Tanzer (German: “Sky Dancer”). These Wesen resemble the Monarch butterfly. When woged, their skin turns black and they have large brown compound eyes. The mouth disappears and the nose lengthens to become a curled hollow proboscis. A stunning set of black and orange wings grow from the back. The orange patches on the wings of the females are brighter than those of the males.


Muschelkopf (German: “Shell Head”). These semi-aquatic Wesen resemble crabs. When woged, their skin is bright reddish orange, their eyes turn black and they grow a hard shell over the head and back. Their arms become thick and spiky and the hands change into chelae (claws). Males have larger chelae than females. They live in small groups known as Casts.


Nachtkatze (German: “Night Cat”). When woged, these Wesen have black and white fur, pointed ears, a small pink nose and brilliant golden eyes. As adults, they tend to live alone or in pairs and, unless threatened, are usually shy and quiet.


Rammbock (German: “Battering Ram”). These Wesen resemble goats. When woged, they have dull brown fur, long fluffy beards and pointed ears. However, their most impressive feature is the set of large backward-curving horns on the top of the head. Males have bigger horns than the females (Male horn length: 130cm/Female horn length 90cm). Males tend to live alone while females live in herds.


Silberhai (German: “Silver Shark”). A rare aquatic Wesen that resembles the Hammerhead shark. When woged, the skin is a brilliant silver, hence the name. The head becomes very wide and flat with eyes on the ends of the stalks and a large dorsal fin grows from the back. They tend to live alone, in pairs or in small family groups.


Steinaffe (German: “Stone Monkey”). These Wesen resemble Gorillas. When woged, they grow black fur with a reddish forehead. They live in groups consisting mostly of adult females and their young and run by a single adult male known as the Silbernes Gesicht (“Silver Face”) due to the silver fur around the eyes. They are usually friendly but can turn violent if their families are threatened.

One of my, really quick, Wesen creation would be a “Malocchio” (Italian for Evil Eye). He/she would vogue into something similar to a Hex/Zauberbiest look-alike but not as haggish appearing but with a gnarled twisted left eye. They would be able to just cast immediate bad karma on their victims.

I didn't think this would take off!
Wow!

I've got a few ideas based on animals.
Peafowl, Pangolin, Sloth, Anteater, Aardwolf
