New to the site. Maybe I missed an episode or was to stoned and missed seeing it, but my question is what do Wesen see when they look at Nick? What is a Grimm's natural form?

Besides that, there is nothing I or anyone else can say to answer your question. Personally, I don't believe the writers have decided how wessen recognize a grimm. When they did the pilot and prepared the series bible, they probably figured grimm woge just like any wessen, but they weren't able to find the right moment or the right form that wouldn't come off as totally cheezy. On the thread topic, what I would like to see in regard to wessen is more than just a character's head in woge form. I'm guessing that will be hard to do for the female cast members, but my inner pervert won't mind in that case either. Still, seeing a full form hexenbiest could be pretty cool.

What is a Grimm's natural form? Welcome to the site Kap. Short answer: we don't know. Long answer: We think that the only time Wesen can recognize Nick as a Grimm is when they woge. we know they see something, if they are paying attention, and it might even be that they have to somewhat close to nick and maybe even be looking at his face. But we don't know. The writers have left us in the dark. maybe just to add another mystery to the show. You would think that Nick would have asked one of his Wesen friends this question already. Maybe he has but just not as part of the show. Anyway it could be something as pedestrian as their own reflection in his eyes or maybe Nick's expression on his face. Hank once said he can tell when Nick sees a Weson by the expression on his face. Or could be like HellJacket said and the writers haven't figured this out yet.

I think it'll come down to the following considerations. 1.) If the writers can't come up with something good, how long can they reasonably hold off telling the audience (in this case, expect a LOST scenario where they have the big revelation on how wessen recognize grimm in the series finale). Another way of describing this point, would be whether not telling/showing the Grimm audience the truth ever hurt Grimm ratings? 2.) Other than a minor episode ratings' bump, what do the writers get from showing the truth? Would it be the basis for an entire season arc? I really don't see them getting anything from not showing the audience how wessen recognize grimm. 3.) If the writers come up with something good, how do they rationalize to the audience how no one (e.g., Monroe) has told Nick before now? 4.) If the writers come up with something good, when would be the perfect time to make the revelation? Mid-season finale? A season finale? A series finale? I think (2) and (3) above are going to force the writers to wait until the series finale. There's just no benefit in doing so before then, but there's a lot to lose by having a really bad explanation.

Y'know, now with Juliette aboard, they can deal with HJ's #3.
Juliette to Monroe: So do you see something when Nick changes? Monroe to Juliette: Sure. Monroe to Nick: How come you didn't tell her? Nick to Monroe: What would I tell her. I don't know. Monroe to Nick: Why didn't you just ask me man?

However, given the buildup and expectations about it, I do imagine many fans are going to be ticked if that's how they explain away the delay in telling the audience.

What is a Grimm's natural form?this is a big question and as others have said, there is little solid info. I always got the idea that is was more of a feeling than something that is seen... sort of like spider-man's spider sense... an instinct... As to when they notice, I think that depends on the type of Wesen and their intelligence... Most Wesen seem to notice when the Wolge while some, like the captain are capable of knowing even before Nick. Others, like "Hap" in season 1 episode 6 "the three bad wolves" didn't know until someone else pointed it out.

Junior Writer: so how do we explain how Wesons recognize Gimms?
Senior Writer: we don't. we have to leave some things unexplained so that the fans have something to discuss on their forums.
