My idea is of a wesen based on the Fillipino monsters, Aswangs. Some of my ideas are very disturbing.

Though most human myths refer to it as the Aswang, it is really called an Akswadanga, or Akswadangad(Ocks-wah-dong-gad) for plural. It is an immensely powerful Wesen(female only), hailing from spain, which is what also what inspired vampire myths. During the day, it is impossible for them to woge, and act exactly as a human. It is quite literally impossible to make them admit they are Wesen untill night. Even a Grimm can not detect them. (There is a theory that they won't even know themselves to be wesen untill they woge) Once the sun sets however, they will instantly woge. It will be impossible for them to change back to their human apearence, untill the sun has risen. The only way of identifying one during the day is by looking into their eyes. The reflections will all be inverted.

An Akswadanga's appearance is quite frightening. Their skin is a pale grey, and is leathery, like that of a bats. Their eyes are pure black, and turn red while feeding. Their hands and feet are clawed, and can rip through solid steel. Their stength is nearly unmatched, and they regenerate to fast to be killed in any way(at least during night; have human strength during day) Their mouth is blackish brown on the inside They have six fangs which are used to clamp onto a victim. Their tounge is even more horrible. It is extendable, and will stretch up to a foot long. There are four fangs at the tip wich can pierce the hardest of materials, and can grap and lift small objects. In between the four fangs is a proboscis which leads to the stomach, which can suck up blood, and have bits off food inserted by the fangs. All of their fangs contain a venom that paralyzes the victim, and causes excrutiating pain at the same time. Akswadangad are thin to the point where they look anorexic, and can fit through nearly anything. Their speed is unmatched, even by a Jinnamuru Xunte. They are completely silent, except for a Tik-Tik noise they make while hunting. The strange thing about this, is that the closer it is to you, the quieter it will seem. The farther away you are, the louder it will become(a theory on this is that the tic-tic sound becomes quiter, the closer the victim is to death).

Akswadangad hunt in a specific way. They will travel enourmous distances to find victims(always coming back to their human dwelling before sunrise). They attack two different things; pregnant woman and children. If it is a child, it will be paralyzed, then be drained of blood, and have the heart and liver eaten. The Akswadanga does this by clamping on with it's fangs, then stabing the toungue into the body, sucking up blood, and devouring the liver. If the victim is a pregnant woman(Akswadanga prefer this), she will be put into a sort of trance(it is not known how this works), that will make it impossible to move or feel pain. The Akswadanga latches on to the womans belly and stabs through into the womb with it's tounge. The fetus is devoured in mere seconds, and allows the Akswadanga to temporarily alter it's venom. The victim is bitten again, and the venom transforms the woman into another Akswadanga. The venom in the Akswadanga reverts back to a nerve toxin afterwords, and leaves the woman to transform. There are many accounts of pregnant woman who have been stapped and had the fetus removed, to disapear from the hospital without ever being seen again.

It is unknown how many Akswadangad there are in existence, but they are a large threat. As far as anyone knows, none have ever been succesfully contained or killed. Countless Grimm have died in the procces of fighting one. There are rumors of those who discover one, and inform the Wesen Council. Whether it has somehow been murdered by them or gone into hiding, no one knows. But if the council knows the secret to defeating one, they have yet to share it...
