A Heldenhund (HELDEN-hoont Germ. Helden "Heroic" + Hund "hound") is a heroic Dobberman Pinscher like-Wesen. They are known throughout the Wesen Community as being heroes because of their nature and to act as such. Heldenhund are intelligent, perceptive, loyal and cunning Wesen who are rarely tricked and made fools of.

Characteristics
In their woged state they have short black fur covering their faces which take on a canine appearence that includes both an elongated canine muzzle, long pointed canine ears and sharp teeth capable of tearing flesh. The true face of the Heldenhund ends up almost resembling an actual Dobberman Pinscher's when fully woged making it one of the most animal like wesen in terms of appearence.

The imprint of their hair however disappears but this seems to only happen in the males as female Heldenhund retain their hairprint. Their hands and feet become covered in black fur and their fingers become capable of extending sharp claws which they along with their teeth use to fight.

Like most Wesen they can localize their Woge to their eyes which glow a vibrant orange-yellow.

Behavior
Heldenhund are well known throughout the Wesen community as crime-fighters and heroes as even when Heldenhund are children they always take a stand against injustice or wrong doing. This ranges from them taking action against school yard bullying or doing something more serious like tracking down criminals. This hero-like nature of theirs make them ideal for professions like law enforcement or serving the Wesen Council alongside the Pflichttreue as they are just as loyal and fearless as these white panther wesen.

Personality wise the Heldenhund tend to be very sarcastic and slightly flippant but as they grow older, usually in their 40s they begin to become more surly and serious but the sarcasm never seems to fade away. But despite this the Heldendhund remain over all friendly and kind heartend at times.

These traits aside, the true nature of the Heldenhund lies in their inborn heroism as most end up becoming policemen or fire fighters, serving the common good or striving to save the lives of humans and wesen alike. Sometimes however, Heldenhund take on more simple professions but still embody a heroic nature towards the people they work with. Heldenhund are extremely loyal to those working in the same profession as them as they are always prepared to offer a helping hand to anyone who needs them.

Backing the Heldenhund's more physical acts of heroism and display or loyalty is their great strength, quick reflexes and heightened senses which aide them grealy whenever their are in danger or acting on their instincts.

The down side to their heroic nature is that certain members of this Wesen species sometimes take it too far and end up becoming vigilantes which results in them and other Heldenhund like them gathering in vigilante groups seeking to "do what has to be done for the greater good". These Schelm (Germ. Rogue) Heldendhund are often found throughout history leading riots and vigilante groups of humans and their own kind. A perfect example of these Schelm Heldenhund led vigilante groups is the assassination of Joseph Smith, as it was a group of Heldenhund who shot Jospeh Smith several times. A response to these Schelm Heldendhund groups comes not from the Wesen Council but from within their own species. These Heldendhund are refered to as Friedenstruppen (Germ. Peacekeepers), Heldenhund who try to prevent Schelm Heldenhund from causing harm to both their own species and the wesen community. This group was founded because the more elderly Heldenhund decided to both take responsibility for the actions of their headstrong young and prevent an incident with the Wesen Council. Throughout history the Schelm Heldhund and Friedenstruppen have been butting heads as members of both groups have appeared during several conflicts like the the American Civil War, The American Revolution and the German and  French Revolutions. While these Heldenhund groups fight within the groups waging the wars they merely hide within them so that they can carry out their seperate agendas. Although these two groups have grown smaller and less common, the Friedenstruppen and Schelm Heldenhund can still be found in certain parts of the world as they now remain vigil, waiting to take action. An excerpt from the Grimm diaries details that unlike most Wesen, the Heldenhund seem to consider Grimm's allies instead of enemies or a threat. Time and time again a Heldenhund has provided its assistance to a Grimm with the reason behind this cooperation being that the Heldenhund's claim that the Grimm's are similar to them. The Heldenhund's that have allied themselves with a Grimm have historically quoted that the Grimm's have had "their fair share of bad apples", a reference to the similarities between the brutal nature shared by the Endezeichen Grimm and Schelm Heldenhund.
