most of the primordial wesen featured in the comics are chimeric anyway, meaning that theyre made from incongruous animal, vegetable and maybe even mineral parts with their own unique powers, they could have been (if wer'e going down the mutant theory here) part of a race of genetically modified beings that were created by gods (what we now theorize to be extraterrastrial lifeforms) which might have roots in the odd structure of the pyramids and the alien-like gods that the egyptians worshipped, horus and bast for example were animal like wesen that could have been the ancestors to steinadlers and klaustriechs. much more complex deities like ammit and tawaret may have propagate wesen of many species, instead of just a lone lineage of feline, canine or bird wesen.

maybe unlike most wesen, the hexenbiest sort of imagined themselves into existence,  and were responsible for their own creation arriving much later in the wesen community, it could be that the grimms were a byproduct or a side effect of them coming into existence. much like how in vampire diaries, nature kept creating doppelgangers of the first two immortals because it was a violation of nature, grimms were created because hexenbiests came into existence, a direct antithesis to their species.

i agree with you on the fact that eons ago the hexenbiests wrote down their recipes to create more of their kind so that should their species become endangered, they could use zaubertrank to replenish their ranks. yeah, the reason why i fell in love with the hexenbiests is because of their proximity to witches, i still remember the time when adalind made the death for love potion.
