Hunderbein (German for "Hundred Leg") (plural "Hinderbeinen)

A dangerous centipede wesen. When woged, the skin converts into an exoskeleton, the neck grows massively and becomes flexible, and numerous finger-like appendages sprout from the arms and neck, that can move in a similar manner that fingers do. Antennae also sprout from the forehead, the eyes turn into the classic "bug-eye", and huge fangs erupt from the sides of the mouth. Hunderbeinen are very fast (although not as fast as Blutbaden), and prefer to run down their prey. Most Hunderbeinen view the eating of humans as filthy and immoral, and the ones that prefer the taste of raw meat instead hunt small animals such as squirrels and rabbits, though a few adventurous Hunderbeinen have started to hunt down children, but even these wesen do not hunt adult humans, even though a Hunderbein can put up a strong fight, capable of repelling most aggressers, including most Grimms. Hunderbeinen are very agile and can dodge most projectiles thrown at them. Hunderbeinen also have a venom that is injected from their fangs while their arms and many appendages hold the victim down. This venomous "bite" is, while not deadly, very painful. The Hunderbein is also able to detect the vibrations of nearby living organisms and moving objects in a similar manner to that of the way fish and many invertebrates detect vibrations. This means that, even blindfolded, a Hunderbein can still have a sense of what is going on around them, and there are well documented events of them winning fights in almost total darkness against enemies that in other circumstances would have emerged victorious. Many Hunderbeinen work as accountants or as office workers, as their many finger-like appendages when woged are useful in typing. Many are also proffesional athletes, were their enhanced speed benefits them greatly.
