Grimm Wiki:Löwen Games/2016

Check the results at Challonge or down below.

The Löwen Games are back! All Wesen species who appeared in though  were eligible to compete. No humans, Grimms, non-Wesen beings, comic Wesen, novel Wesen or Wesen mentioned/seen in the Grimm diaries only were eligible. Seeding was done using a random number generator. Numbers were assigned to each Wesen based on their names in alphabetical order. The defending champion Excandesco is back again this year to see if she can repeat.

The rules:


 * 1) If you die, you lose.
 * 2) If you win, you live to fight another day.
 * 3) We are not responsible for band-aids or pain relievers. And if you get blinded, zombified, burned, or get any other non-life threatening injuries, toughen up.

Reporters
Matches were assigned to each reporter using a random number generator to help keep things balanced. The reporters wrote up the matches, and to avoid the possibility for the writers to sway the results based on their brackets, the results were heavily influenced by the Challonge polls, which were voted on by everyone who filled out a bracket. For example, if one Wesen received 95% of the votes, then they would have a 95% chance of winning the fight, and if the Wesen with a 5% chance of winning ended up being victorious, the reporter would have to be much more creative in what they wrote up in order to explain the results.

 * WesenZoo - 3rd tournament reporting

Indole Gentile vs. Wildesheer
"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome back to the Löwen Games once again! This year's tournament sure looks like it's going to shape up to be a nasty one all the way to the end, as with a new year comes some great new fighters, some of whom I'm told were actually crazy enough to volunteer to be in this! As we prepare for the first fight, there is a tremendous crowd on hand, and several Löwen are certainly among them, proud as can be that their great tradition is continuing once more. You can feel the excitement in the arena, folks, as everyone here has been anticipating the start of the 2016 Löwen Games for quite some time now. Some of the onlookers here almost look like they want a taste of the action just as much as they want to see it! Yeah, I'm looking at you, Blutbad! Somebody keep an eye on him!

Oh my! There wasn't any rain in the forecast for today, folks, but there was just a huge clap of thunder that shook the arena! There seems to be a lot of confusion as to what's going on, but I don't think a little rain storm is going to stop this tournament from... Well, would you look at that! A trio of Wildesheer have charged into the arena, and the crowd is going wild! As I mentioned earlier, the Wildesheer that has been entered into this year's tournament has voluntarily chosen to fight. All three look quite ferocious! The one in the middle is wearing arm and wrist bracers on both arms, and it looks like they have been made from several scalps. That must be today's competitor, as the other two have sufficiently fired up this crowd and are now going into the crowd to take their seats. I'd watch my back if I was sitting near those two!

Today's other competitor, a male Indole Gentile, is now being dragged into the arena. Rather than give this poor soul some encouragement, he is being showered with boos, perhaps deservedly so, since he appears to be sobbing. Ah, if only it was Christmas and this gentleman was an adolescent... maybe he wouldn't be such a huge underdog going into this match. Oh, well. Let the games begin!

As the match got underway, the Indole Gentile's only strategy appeared to be begging for mercy, but the Wildesheer was ferocious and was not expected to show any. With the Indole Gentile down on his knees already appearing to accept defeat, the Wildesheer's demeanor changed, and he actually looked uninterested in fighting as well. Despite the crowd voicing their obvious displeasure at this turn of events, it's hard to blame the Wildesheer for clearly not having any desire to collect the scalp of such an unworthy opponent. However, in this instant, the Indole Gentile seemed to gain inspiration from his opponent's momentary lapse of motivation, and he ran up and kicked the Wildesheer in the shin. That may have been the worst decision the poor creature has ever made. The Wildesheer screamed with rage, picked up the Indole Gentile, and sent him flying several yards in the air with one mighty toss. The crowd cheered once more, and the Wildesheer charged and kicked the Indole Gentile square in the side, sending him flying several more feet. Landing hard on his left shoulder, the Indole Gentile screamed out in pain and was rolling around on the ground in sheer agony, his collarbone having broken through his skin. The Wildesheer was uninterested in his opponent's cries for help, however, as he ran over and delivered another brutal kick to the Indole Gentile, nearly splitting the poor creature in half. The Indole Gentile was kicked and thrown around the arena like a rag doll several more times until he no longer cried out for help. With the match clearly over, the Wildesheer's friends came out of the stands, handed their representee a scalping blade, and let the victor do the honors, though it's doubtful that the Wildesheer will gain much of any edge from his victim's scalp this time."

Wildermann vs. Blutbad
"Next up, we have two very fierce and strong Wesen! To your right (or left) is the Blutbad, wild as a wolf, savage as a... wolf, and to your left (or right) is Bigfoot himself, the Wildermann, what a wild man he is! Beard, long hair, and all! The Wildermann seems to not enjoy waiting for the match, he just wants to be brought back to the forests he was living. But soon he stands up, and both contestants woge their eyes red, deep in their inner rage... And a three... two... one... Go!!

The Blutbad woges first, and charges at the Wildermann, who woges as well, but puts his hands up. The Blutbad charges into the Wildermann, knocking him down, but rolls off him. Both contestants get back up. The Blutbad delivers a threatening growl, and charges at the Wildermann, who successfully lands several well placed punches to the wolfs face and chest. The Blutbad quickly retaliates, punching and clawing the Wildermann in the face and chest area. The Blutbad grabs the Wildermann, who grabs him back. The Blutbad headbutts Bigfoot's face, knocks his arms away, then punches his face and chest, then punches his face again. The Wildermann grabs his face, clenching the bruises, and howling in pain. Taking advantage of this, the Blutbad tackles the Wildermann down and bites out his throat, tearing it until he bites his neck bones... Victory for the Blutbad, who thanks the crowd by delivering an ear piercing roar."

Matança Zumbido vs. Hundjäger
"This match was very quick, sadly. The Hundjäger immediately ran towards the Matança Zumbido to attack, but as soon as he got within arm's length, the Matança Zumbido stuck her hand out, up to the Hundjäger's face, and shocked the life out of him."

Eisbiber vs. Coyotl
"His first fight was hardly a challenge for the Coyotl. The Eisbiber started to panic instantly at the sight of his fully woged and howling opponent as he entered the Ring and just tried to escape the combat by running away. He did know this is a closed arena with no way out, did he? At least he was fast on his little feet... It took the Coyotl all of 5 minutes playing hide-and-seek till the Eisbiber was out of breath and could run no more to bite his fangs in the Eisbibers thoat. Probably could’ve done that much faster if he'd really wanted to. Honestly, why do the Löwen keep insisting on pulling these kind of Wesen into the Games? Not much fun for the spectators... Anyway, the crowd applauded politely and the Coyotl moves on the next round."

Weten Ogen vs. Drang-Zorn
''This could be an interesting match. To the left we have a Weten Ogen fully woged. The big cat watches the entrance with anticipation, his claws already extended. Seems like someone is eager to fight. And there is his opponent. A really excited specimen of a Drang-Zorn. But aren't they always excited? Now the opponents are standing face to face. Who's gonna make the first strike?''

''The Weten Ogen is lurking, his fur erect in excitement. And now the Drang-Zorn jumps at his opponent. This short moment was enough for him - better to never start a conflict with him. The Weten Ogen goes into full battle mode himself, returning the attack. Both crash into each other. Ooh, what a nasty sound. A fight of claws versus fangs! The Weten Ogen is hitting his claws in the upper arm of the Drang-Zorn. The latter tries to free himself, but the claws are digging deep in his flesh and he's bleeding heavily. The Wegen Ogen smiles... or maybe not, it’s not easy to say with those great fangs of his... Now the Drang-Zorn uses his claws as well and presses them in the shoulders of the big cat. That causes the Weten Ogen to scream in pain and loose his grip. Oh, not good, the Drang-Zorn takes this opening and sinks his teeth in the cats shoulder. Ouch! That hurts. The Weten Ogen roars in pain, but he continues to fight. His claws scratch over the face of the Drang-Zorn with bloody results, causing the Wesen to loose his grip. His face is bleeding from every cut, must be hard to see for him by now... but he doesn’t want to lose, so he tries again. But the cat is quicker and rips his opponents throat out with his fangs. The Drang-Zorn is making some gargling sounds while collapsing onto the sand. The audience celebrates the winner. Wow, that was a good fight.''

Skalengeck vs. Gedächtnis Esser
"The Skalengeck opens the fight with the typical hostile grin they use to intimidate their opponents. Albeit the blonde woman doesn’t seem to be as nervous, as one would expect from someone looking like an ordinary 9-5 office gal… Well, whatever. The Skalengeck takes offence in her reaction or the lack of it and launches an attack, hissing insults about… okay, no need to repeat his words here. He’s definitely a street-gang-type of Skalengeck - all about wild actions but no grace. The woman on the other hand seems to be experienced in self-defense as she quickly dodges his attacks and kicks him in the butt, causing the guy to find himself lying face down in the sand. The audiences cheers. There – finally it happens, the woman woges and displays several tentacles growing out of the sides of her head. Not a beautiful sight to see… The Skalengeck now mad with anger tries to attack the woman again, going for her throat – and finds himself getting caught in her tentacles instead. But this only increases his rage and since the woman let such a dangerous opponent come so close to her face the reptile Wesen takes his chance and goes for the bite. He sinks his teeth into the Gedächtnis Essers throat and she yells in pain… until she can yell no more. But the Skalengeck seems to be a little bit disoriented after letting go of the corpse. He got some badly bleeding wounds in the back of his head, but what’s worse he doesn’t seem to remember what he is doing in the arena and why he has a dead woman to his feet. Some securities direct him to the exit and the Skalengeck is blabbering about where he is and what’s this all about…"

Luison vs. Apgadnieks
"This proved to be a fight pitting one crafty Wesen against a very scrappy one. However, in the Löwen games, it's often better to have both qualities. As the fight got underway, the Apgadnieks charged straight for his competitor, eager to land the first strike. The Luison just stood his ground without moving a muscle, almost as if to get his opponent to rethink his strategy. The Apgadnieks had one thing on his mind though, and mind games weren't one of them, as he pounced and tackled the Luison to the ground. The two tussled for a bit, both struggling to gain leverage, as the Luison had a bit of a size advantage on his opponent. However, the Apgadnieks' tenaciousness won out in the end, as he landed one huge slash to the face of his opponent during the struggle, which drew a lot of blood and also did significant damage to one of the Luison's eyes. It seemed the Luison could not keep up with the exchange of slashes after that point, and the Apgadnieks finally finished off his competitor with a mighty slash to the throat. The Apgadnieks then stood back up, victorious and having suffered some cuts to his face to show for his efforts, but no significant lacerations."

Folterseele vs. Balam
"The Folterseele was screwed. She was very pretty, but the Balam wasn't interested in her. When he woged, she cried, as the Balam tackled her down and tore her to pieces."

Luisant-Pêcheur vs. Yaguaraté
"The poor Luisant-Pêcheur was not fast enough to get into the water before the Yaguaraté grabbed him. The Luisant-Pêcheur was so close that he could put his fingers in the water after being knocked to the ground, but the Yaguaraté quickly ripped the throat out of the Luisant-Pêcheur, and then as though to mock the Luisant-Pêcheur's failure, the Yaguaraté threw the body into the water."

Fuilcré vs. Phansigar
Reporter: Naiad

Mauzhertz vs. Ungeziefer Greifer
"Neither opponents were very happy to be involved with these games, but it is what it is... The little mouse tried to run, but the weasel was quick, tackled him down, then used his deadly teeth to bite his neck, killing him, and advancing to the next round."

Varme Tyv vs. Seltenvogel
Reporter: Naiad

Aswang vs. Klaustreich
"The Aswang didn't seem to stand much of a chance at first. as she wasn't fast enough to avoid the claws and teeth of the Klaustreich. However, before she died, she managed to stick her long tongue down the throat of the Klaustreich and pierced it through his stomach before the Klaustreich bit it off and killed the Aswang with a final slash to the throat."

Geier vs. Huntha Lami Muuaji
"This is gonna be an interesting fight. I’m positive not many people know what’s so special about Huntha Lami Muuaji – probably including the Geier already waiting fully woged in the arena for his match. Hopefully we’re gonna see it today. His opponent seems quite ordinary, handsome, sportive but slender. Someone you would expect to be good with women, definitely not a fighter and... he seems to be talking to himself. The Geier is scratching the sand with his talons and flexing his long phalanges, and the moment the Referee opens the fight, he comes flying for the Huntha Lami Muuaji's throat. The Huntha Lami Muuaji lifts his arms in defense. He screams, his voice thick with fear. The Geiers claws leave long bloody slashes on the arms of his rival as he jumps some feet away, his eyes full of glee. He circles the wounded Wesen trying to provoke him. But the Huntha Lami Muuaji just keeps talking to himself and... Ladies and Gentlemen, now he woges! That’s a rare sight to see, consider yourself lucky. But it also indicates how desperate the man has become to do it so early in the match. The body deforms and... he looks like a... I don’t know the proper words to describe it... like a... worm? Covered in some kind of goo and features that are hardly acknowledgeable as human. The Geier seems either confused or intrigued by this sight and dares to step nearer. His kind is in the... "medical business" after all (still wearing his white lab coat as well). Oh, he better keep his distance. The Huntha Lami Muuaji strikes. He... She... IT... barely touches the arm of the Geier, leaving his skin steaming and the man desperate to get out of his coat crying in pain. Now what? Oh, the Geier tries a different approach. He wraps the cloth around his right arm which has finally stopped steaming after he pulled it through the sand, circles to the back of the Huntha Lami Muuaji and starts hitting. The Huntha Lami Muuaji moves slowly, as it isn’t even able to dodge the attacks. The cloth seems to be blocking the goo, so the Huntha Lami Muuaji also has to change his tactic. He starts to de-woge and... is now to be seen as a beautiful brunette woman! There you have it, that’s the creature's "special move." Not that it’s really helpful in this battle... The Geier throws away his coat and attacks straight out to end this match, before the Huntha Lami Muuaji gets another chance of woging again and using his goo. With his sharp talons extended, the Geier starts ripping the throat and the chest of the Huntha Lami Muuaji apart, leaving only a bloody mess that once used to be his opponent behind."

Mellifer vs. Hexenbiest
"We could be in for a great fight tonight, as those that have hung around the arena are without a doubt eager to watch yet another battle in the war that is the ancient feud between Mellifers and Hexenbiests! Both of our participants in this fight are female, and I've been informed that the Mellifer that is in this year's Löwen Games has been banned from bringing any fellow Mellifers with her for support, possibly because the Löwen that are running the games do not trust a group of them in the same vicinity. I'll also remind our readers that neither fighter will be using any weapons in this match, so for the Mellifer, that surely means not having a Mellifer Stinger. In any case, both fighters have been introduced, and we are ready to go! Time to settle some differences!

Both contestants clearly knew that there was more on the line here than just their own lives; they were representing their respective species. As soon as the two were given the signal to fight, they wasted no time in going after each other. The Mellifer and Hexenbiest immediately went in for combination punches, but nothing significant was landed. Despite this, it was pretty clear that both were trained in the martial arts. The two fighters reset and stood a few feet apart, measuring the other in their respective stances. Again, they then went after each other, and the Mellifer went in for a grapple; the Hexenbiest wisely slipped under one of the Mellifer's arms and gained leverage from behind, landing some vicious elbows to the side of the Mellifer's head. Almost instinctively, the Mellifer finally managed to counter by flipping the Hexenbiest over her shoulder, with the Hexenbiest landing hard on her back. Almost in the same motion, the Mellifer went to stomp on the Hexenbiest's face, but the Hexenbiest rolled out of the way, her opponent's foot striking nothing but solid ground. Apparently, at this point, the Hexenbiest decided enough was enough, as she telekinetically got herself back on her own two feet and started using the sandy arena to her own advantage, encircling the Mellifer within a tornado of dust. The crowd could be heard expressing their awe at the sight of this, but the Mellifer, attempting to shield her eyes, was soon seen blindly running out of the cloud of dust straight towards the Hexenbiest. Unfortunately, she did not see the witch in time, as she ran straight into a chokehold. Whether by telekinesis, sheer brutality, or both, the Hexenbiest crushed the Mellifer's neck in her grasp and finished her off by ripping out her throat. Looks like it might have taken a few more Mellifers to take down this witch, who wasn't much worse for the wear. Perhaps next year, the Löwens will allow a Mellifer to bring a bee hive with them? I mean, it's not technically a weapon, right?"

Ziegevolk vs. Koschie
"Well this was an unexpected fight... The Ziegevolk woged and charged at the Koschie, who caught his head. The two engaged in a bit of a wrestling match for a moment, before the Ziegevolk punched the Koschie and stabbed his stomach with his horns. This did little for the Koschie, who kneed the goats face, stunning him, then punched his face until he fell to the ground. Wait... What is that?... Oh... They appear to be making out now... Why do we have Ziegevolks here? Everyone just makes out with them?... Anyways, once the gay moment ended, the Koschie became pretty violent, and... Ooh... Yeah... He won."

Murciélago vs. Lebensauger
Reporter: Naiad

Dämonfeuer vs. Nuckelavee
"In the left, we have a fierce Nuckelavee, who has traveled all the way from Europe. Rumor has it this beast survived an encounter with a Grimm! And... on the right, we have a beast from whom true legends are born... the Dämonfeuer!

As the fight prepared to get underway, the Dämonfeuer wasted no time in coughing up his own vaporized fat. The Nuckelavee was wise to his opponent's tactics, however, and took note of where the Dämonfeuer seemed to be coughing up the highly flammable vapor. As soon as the fight started, sure enough, the Dämonfeuer lit up the arena in an extraordinary ball of fire. The Nuckelavee somehow managed to run over to the side and roll out of the way in time, but he did slightly underestimate to what extent of the arena the ignited gas would cover. With little time to make his next move, he did not even bother patting out a flame on his left arm. Instead, the Nuckelavee quickly ran at the Dämonfeuer and wildly swung his right arm at him. The Dämonfeuer side-stepped his opponent and watched as the Nuckelavee's own momentum took him tumbling to the ground. On the bright side, the flame on his arm had been put out... on the not-so-bright side, the Dämonfeuer coughed up some more vapor and engulfed the entire Nuckelavee in flames before he could get back to his feet. Well, at least the Löwen will now be able to feed the competitors some freshly cooked meat!"

Raub-Kondor vs. Krampus
"This was one of the best opening round matches of the tournament. Both Wesen were punching, kicking, strangling, headbutting, and whatever else they could do to try to win. Krampus managed to briefly overpower the Raub-Kondor, so he stuck her head into the water to try to drown her, but with her last ounce of strength, she managed to break free. She start going all out on Krampus, knocking him out with a hard punch to the middle of his face. The Raub-Kondor pumped up the crowd as she broke off one of Krampus' horns and stabbed him in the throat."

Seelengut vs. Hässlich
"Another uneven fight displays how weak a Seelengut is in the face of a Hässlich. That ugly troll seems to take a lot of joy in insulting and harassing the poor little guy. The sheeplike Wesen desperately tries to get himself free from the grip of the Hässlich, but it’s no good. A loud cracking sound indicates that the troll has broken the Seelengut's spine. Hopefully we’ll get to see a more exciting fight from the Hässlich in the next round."
