Entsetzenvogel (Ger. terror bird)

The Entsetzenvogel is a dangerous and unique Wesen that has had much research done about its origins and anatomy. This species is comparable to an avian Mauvais Dentes, but similarities between the species do not end at aggression. While the Mauvais Dentes resembles the extinct sabre-toothed cat, the Entsetzenvogel resembles the extinct terror bird which stalked the same areas of the earth. When woged, dark blue and black feathers cover the body and intersperse with the hair, forming a crown of larger feathers that is more prominent in males. The face gains an angularity similar to a Steinadler, but the beak is larger and razor sharp. This beak is stronger than that of any other known Wesen species and is capable of breaking the necks of most humans and Wesen, only stopping at species with extremely thick skin or very tough exoskeletons (such as Siegbarste or Hadosheru). Also ocurring during woge is a transformation of the hands; every finger except the thumb fuses into one large claw.

The Entsetzenvogel attacks quickly and effectively, chasing down prey with baffling speed and strong legs before stabbing the victim in the back of the chest with a claw and breaking the victim's neck with their beak. Any members left can often be found roaming rural Africa and slaying small villages in order to fulfill an innate bloodlust. The Royals are the only group powerful enough to employ an Entsetzenvogel as a bounty hunter.

Malati Idolo (Filipino; moorish idol)

The Malati Idolo is a little-known Wesen species that resembles the tropical fish Zanclus cornutus, or the Moorish Idol. Members of this race are often treated as deities by small groups of natives throughout islands in the Indian-Pacific Ocean. This is because they reveal their true forms to these people; their smooth and scaly skin striped with black and yellow and the tall fin on their head, the size of which determines dominance in the species. They also exhibit an elongated snout with beak-like teeth that rip flesh with a vengeance. Those they influence will often do most anything for their Malati Idolo, both out of admiration and fear, for those who resist or revolt are killed. The Malati Idolo will travel with his "servants" and command them to aid in his crime sprees. They are comparable to a less powerful and dangerous Cracher-Mortel.
