Giftenspitzmaus (German for “poison shrew”)



A shrew-like wesen. When woged, the giftenspitzmaus develops a rather long and pointed nose and extremely small black eyes, resulting in poor vision. Yet its acute hearing and incredibly accurate sense of smell make up for its near-blindness. It becomes covered in soft, grayish-brown fur. It also develops immensely sharp, spiked teeth. The bite of a giftenspitzmaus is venomous and there is practically no hope for victims of this bite. The venom of this wesen kills slowly, yet painfully. Giftenspitzmäuse usually keep to themselves unless they are provoked or threatened. They are also extremely territorial and possessive.
