My submission is the Unsichtbare Schatten

I don't  need a drawing because it is an invisible wesen. Nobody who has seen it remembers what it looked like. It's like the comic book hero The Shadow, who fogs mens mind so they don't see him.

It would be a take off on H.G. Well's Invisible Man, where the potion that made him invisible also made him slowly insane.

The body of a young girl with her throat ripped out confronts the police. Nick and Hank interview the family and one of the members woges and turns invisible. Nick doesn't know what that means.

A string of robberies occur in which there is no eye witness testimony although things were stolen right out from under them. Video camera were turned off. But other forensic evidence is impossible not to leave behind. Like footprints.

Nick suspects the family of the "disappearing" wesen might be involved and come back to interview the distraught famliy of the young girl murder victim they still haven't solved. But the foot print is way too big for any member of the family. In fact it looks more like a Lowen print. As the method of killing the  Unsichtbare Schatten looks more Lowen than anything else.

Harper suggests a  abnormal gland or sac was ripped out of the victim's throat as well. This is the gland, so Rosalee tells Nick, that secrets a hormone that hypnotized it's target into not recognizing what the eye sees. The message is getting to the optic nerve, the mind is befogged and interprets it as no one there.

The Lowen who "stole" the Unsichtbare Schatten's "invisiblity gland" and put it in an atomized to spritz at people is having a lot of fun playing "invisible" tricks on people. Like H.G. Well's character he starts out fairly sane, but as time goes by he gets crazier and crazier.

Perhaps the Unsichtbare Schatten is immune to the effects of her invisibility hormone but the Lowen is not. Every time he spritz it to someone to make them forget him, he breathes in a little bit too. The cummulative effects is madness. Wrecking havoc, tossing papers off tables, etc. like the invisible man does when he gets frustrated in Ipswich.

The invisibility has limitations too. The target can't remember the person right after they are spritz but if you throw flour, dust, rain water on him anytime afterwards, the target will see the distortion of water, or the flour colored silhouette of a man walking around.

Maybe the Lowen gets cornered by Nick and Hank. The Lowen sprtiz's them and they can't see him. But Nick's Grimm hearing sure can find him. (I know we've done that before).

Anyway the production cost would be cheap. No make up needed.
