GRIMM — THE COMPLETE SERIES — 2011–2017

GRIMM is a long series with some kind of unity in the existence of Wesen among us, a different species that has the particularity for every individual to be from a subspecies that identifies and can transform under stress into one particular animal, though many if not most or all of them are crazy mixtures of various animals with the most exotic names you can imagine like, and most of them are in German, Blutbad which only means Bloodbath. Some of these animals are, in fact, predators, in fact, many of them are, but most are predators from one subspecies to another subspecies within the Wesen species. Wesen only means “be” or “being” in German. So, they are not HUMAN Beings, despite their human look before turning Wesen, or woging when they turn into plain BEINGS, nothing but animals then.

A GRIMM is a third species within the Human community. They have the power to see these Wesen whereas normal human beings do not have that power, except when the Wesen decide to be seen and attack the human beings present in front of them. Only the prey can see the transformation. A GRIMM has one more characteristic: he normally cannot be killed by these Wesen, but he or she can be severely maimed or mutilated, etc. He may die of it, but he is not killed by the Wesen predator.
