Taube (German for "Pigeon")

A very common pigeon-like wesen. When woged, the Taube develops leathers all over it's body, especially on the arms. The fingers turn into feathers, the bones become hollow, and the mouth and nose fuse into a beak. They are often thought of as filthy scavengers, other wesen often calling them "Reinigen with wings", and are usually low-class or lower middle-class. Taube's like to live in cities and feel insecure when leaving an urban environment. The most remarkable thing that Taube's can do is that when their arms are exposed, they are able to flap them really hard and actually fly a considerable height and distance (though not for a long time), often flying on top of street lamps to escape predators. A Taube's favorite foods include bread and seeds.
