Metallon Tavros (Greek; metal bull)

For countless years, the Royals have held control over the general Wesen population by claiming that they control a species of super-powerful and super-rare Wesen. The Metallon Tavros is said to be a hulking creature seemingly composed of metal that can kill most any creature with a single punch to the head. Today, most Wesen consider the Metallon Tavros to be pure legend and totally nonexistent. However, Metallon Tavros are no legend. This rare Wesen has a lineage dating back to ancient Greece. The entire race worships Hephaestus (god of fire) and, because of this, they are often associated with the demon, Volcanalis. Any surviving members of the species are scattered around Greece and exiled to remote houses where they guard over volcanoes. Their powers have been somewhat exaggerated by legend, but the Metallon Tavros is capable of taking out a Grimm with a single punch, this much has been recorded by ancient explorers.

When woged, a Metallon Tavros resembles a Mordstier with golden-flecked irises. Their body is covered by impenetrable armor plating that resembles golden bronze. And their bright golden horns are larger and more dangerous than the horns of any other bovine Wesen. Their muscle power is almost unrivalled.

In Mythology: The Metallon Tavros are equivalent to the Khalkotauroi of Greek mythology.
