Ziegevolk

Actor type beasts also known as "Bluebeards" that like to be in the public eye. The Ziegevolk are rather meek goat-like creatures that give off a scent, a pheremone, that is excreted from sweat glands that attract women to them. They do not tend to kill their victims and are considered lovers not fighters. Ziegevolk are often found in bars where they use their pheremones to lure and seduce victims. Ziegevolk that eat toads are breeders not hoarders, a rarity amongst the species. The toads allow the Ziegevolk to give off a more potent pheremone that attracts a victim more easily.

History

 * From Marie Kessler's Book:

Nick discovered an entry in his aunt Marie's book that read: "Ziegevolk (Bluebeard) are goat-like creatures that were first identified in the Kitzbuhel Alps (south of Rattenberg) in 1895. Their skin releases powerful pheromones that attract and subdue people. This ability is enhanced when they eat Sonoran Desert toads, which make the pheromones even more pungent. Zeigevolks are most dangerous when on the prowl to spread their seed. Famous Ziegevolks include Giacomo Casanova (1725-1798), Frank Sinatra (1915-1998) and John F. Kennedy (1917-1963)."

Nick's Encounter with a Ziegevolk
In 2011, Nick Burkhardt encountered a Ziegevolk after finding a young woman murdered on a bridge in Portland. It was revealed that before coming to Portland where he purchased Bramble House Bed and Breakfast, the Ziegevolk attacked and impregnated 17 women in three cities across three states; Des Moines, Iowa, Detroit, Michigan and Tuscon, Arizona. In Portland he targeted numerous women at Blue Moon Bar and kept them prisoner in the basement on the property, where he locked them in cages and used a gas to ensure they remained sedated so they couldn't escape. Nick unknowingly encountered the Ziegevolk at Bramble House after discovering that the murdered woman stayed at the bed and breakfast. While Nick, Hank and the beast were talking, Nick accidentally stepped on a toad and when the beast went to pick up the creature, Nick noticed the man's reflection in the water of a fountain and saw his true identity of as a beast. The Ziegevolk said that it was the first sign of our extinction when toads die and then he devoured the frog as Nick and Hank left. But with the help of Monroe, Nick discovered who the Ziegevolk was and while he was attempting to lure another woman to Bramble House and along with his partner Hank, Nick located and freed the women trapped within the basement. The Ziegevolk initially escaped but he was later found with the woman from Blue Moon Bar and after a confrontation with the beast at Bramble House, Nick and Hank chased the Ziegevolk through the streets and although they dibilitated him, he escaped again.
