Tambreet (Aborigines Name for Platypus) - Tambreets are an extraordinarily rare and unique Wesen, native to Australia and Tasmania. When woged, all of their body becomes covered in thick insulating brown fur, and their nose and mouth merge to create a duckbill, and their eyes shrink in size. They hands become webbed, with their thumb turning into a spur, that can inject lethal venom, that can kill anyone within a few seconds. However, they only use this when threatened, and are usually shy creatures, not social, and aren't stronger than an average human. They are incredible swimmers, and can hold their breath for half an hour. Their favourite areas to swim in are swamps and rivers. They have coexisted with the Aborigines of Australia peacfully, but when the Europeans arrived, they decimated the Tambreet population, to the point that now, many Wesen believe they are extinct. However, because they are shy, there are actually more than 5,000 Tambreets left in the world. Now, they are hunted for their fur, which is often considered very valuable, and make good clothes. And whenever a Wesen is hunting down a Tambreet, the hunter is most likely to be a Raub-Kondor.

Here is an diary recorded by a Grimm who was on one of the ships that landed on Australia.

"February 28th, 1606. We have contacted with the native people on the large island, with some telling about stories of a bizarre creature they called the Tambreet. A chief on one of the tribes had me and two soldiers, follow him to what was believed to be the creatures lair. We went to a marshy area, where I observed him, as he was grooming himself. As soon as he looked at me, he dove into the water and swam away. We tried to follow him, but he was already gone.

March 2nd, 1606. At night, I was watching over the swamp, when I saw the Tambreet again. Unaware I was watching, he swam towards me, and got to see the beautiful fur. I was mesmorized, and touched the soft fur, only for him to whip out his webbed hand. However, he quickly grabbed by sword, and cut off his hand. I found it difficult to cut off his head, and so I ended up using an axe, and cut it off in 6 hacks. Surprisingly, his hand didn't woge into human form after he died, and I have been able to find thst the thumb has a venomous spur, deadly to any Grimm, Wesen, or Human. "

My Tasmanian Devil Wesen will be next. When will you do your Tasmanian Devil wesen? I can't wait to see what you do.
