This weeks five:

Kopfanboden (Germ: "head to ground"): this is an unmistakable beast if ever seen, the creature is an odd one, but also a dangerous one; the creature was based off've Greek and African mythologies telling of the Catoblepas, plus, the creature can be a lot sweeter if you befriend it, the features are: devilish green eyes (tales of looking into them tell of the victim being turned to stone, but that is mere myth), a shortish snout similar to a Tapir, odd fur like none of any wesen, it is matted like wool but hangs in places like dreadlocks all over it's body, the back is very calloused making striking it from behind a task looking forward to,  the creature has many powers in myth, but the only one that is true is that they breathe poisonous gas from mouth and nose, they get this power from eating a rare root that's name is inconclusive, you should probably befriend one as soon as you meet it, because it will pass your friendship to it's family, which are in large number

Mfupamhalifu (Swa: "bone breaker"): approach with caution, this wesen hunt in packs like Coyotl, but do not have similar rituals, the hyena-like wesen is obviously from African descent, and were brought with other African wesen on the Great Wesen Export to America and other continents to work, but the owners of a Mfupamhalifu soon found out that these creatures do not like to be bossed around and wound up dead, usually in many places scattered in their backyard. The power of these creatures bite can match many different wesen like Skalenzahne, Gelumcaedus, Rotznasig Carcaju, Drang-Zorn, the list goes on and these creatures are renowned for it. The bite, stated in the name, can crush bone like it was paper in the fist of a child and can rip flesh off the body like pirahnas on a cow. The features they possess are large canid teeth, black spots all over their body on top've a short golden coat of fur, colors may vary anywhere from dark brown to bright yellow, canid snout, eyes glow green at night, but bright red in the daytime, males have a black mohawk of fur from the top of their head down to their middle back, and females have the same but more long black fur around the face, black claws back up the teeth, and make sure you have a Mfupapambazua if ever come to close combat with one

Samphatyara (Hindi: "snake killer"): you already know where this is going, a mongoose-like wesen that has it out for all snake and snake related wesen. The creatures eyes glow bright pink and red, and sometimes Grimm's don't know how to approach this wesen because of it's fearsome appearance. The wesen species is distinctly of Indian origin and frequently poses as cops or detectives and can usually be spotted if it takes great interest in poison and venom related killings and the like, bushy brown fur all over, adorable little paws with retractable claws (take heed), and small sharp fangs. This creature is immune to all venoms and is a fearless fighter when it comes to fighting Lausenschlange and the similar snake breeds of wesen. They fear this creature dearly, even more than angry Grimms, and that says alot about it's kind, practices in Indian martial arts, but don't hold grudges against anything besides snakes.

Machtigmeinung (Germ: "mighty mind"): this gorilla-like wesen is the heavyweight champ of the Eastern hemishere wesen species. Everywhere from Africa to Japan this creature has dwelled, but was imported in the Great Wesen Export along with others to America and others, so now this creature is found worldwide. The creature is an odd mix of powerful intelligence and raw physical power, and one of the most famous is Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr., or more recently, Muhammad Ali, he was so smart to lie to the military about his religion, that he didn't have to go to war. But ironically, turned to being a professional boxer, which is another dangerous occupation. The creatures have a mild woge, their skull extends slightly upward, black fur grows all over the body, except for the back where in uncommon cases a large patch of gray fur sits, or in rarer cases white fur. The facial features stay, except for the teeth that grow to fangs in four cases, two large fangs on top, and bottom. The lower arms arms grow larger and the black fur grows longer at this place. They are very wise and well educated and can make up for some of the most renowned scientists of our day, and on the other hand, they have a savage side where they are boxers, wrestlers, martial artists, etc.

Zahpanzer (Germ: "tough armor"): an enjoyable wesen species to be around, these pangolin-like creatures possess one of the most unique and powerful defense mechanisms of all wesen. Their back... has large, thick, overlapping scales, larger than any wesen, and proves like Maahes skin. They are an impenetrable shield, but are meek, and timid creatures for their strong defense. They have never been recorded to be in bad company and can be good friends to anyone who is willing to get along with them. Their nose extends to a long snout, eyes stay the same, hands grow massive claws (four of them if you're wondering) and their back becomes slightly hunched through their shirt when woged. They are a peaceful and kind race and are almost never brought to violence unless provoked, much like Eisbiber, but still can do wicked damage with their claws. The scales on their back come into play at their fullest in a fetal position on the ground when attacked or extremely frightened, the scales stick outwards as well making biting the back (for the more feral wesen) a true challenge.
