Here are some wesen inspired by the ocean, my favorite!

Tiefsee-Zahn (Ger. deep sea tooth)

The Tiefsee-Zahn is an aggressive hairy anglerfish-like wesen that is closely related to the Gluhen. Tiefsee-Zahn have a gruesomely grotesque appearance that is capable of striking fear into the hearts of many wesen. As the beast woges, the skin writhes in into a mottled red-black hide as two gills form on the neck. The lower jaw slants slightly upwards as the mouth fills with fangs more dangerous than that of a Blutbad. Torn and ratty fins form on both sides of the head and line the head and neck. The eyes grow large and bloodshot and long hair-like sensory appendages cover the body, somehow making the overall look that much creepier. The hands and feet become both webbed and clawed. The most noticeable feature is a glowing lure protruding from the forehead. The woging motion is often a side-to-side thrashing of the head, although they can woge extremely fast with little motion. Tiefsee-Zahn may seem like ultimate killing machines, but they only attack and eat certain wesen species; squid. Tiefsee-Zahn lures relese pheremones that are very appeasing to to squid wesen. The pheremones are made stronger by consuming more squid wesen. When the desired squid wesen senses the pheremones they move toward the Tiefsee-Zahn as if they are a zombie. Only females of the species posess the lure and the pheremones and males are completely dependent on them.

Tiefsee-Zahn mainly prey on:

Tintenfisch (Ger. squid) Tintenfisch are the most common squid-like wesen resembling European squid. They are weak-minded creatures that do not do anything of importance in society (like Mauzhertz).

Tiefsee-Zahn also prey on:

Schillernde (Ger. opalescent) Not quite common opalescent squid-like creature with photoreceptors in their skin that can be used to create shimmering color patterns in the skin. It is believed this is a defense mechanism used to confuse the sensitive eyes of a Tiefsee-Zahn.

Klare Korper (Ger. clear body, umlaut over the "o") Rather rare squid-like wesen with almost clear skin when woged.

All squid wesen have a similar appearance when woged; the skin becomes smooth and moist, the head elongates and two rippling fins form on either side. The eyes grow larger and shift to the sides of the head and the mouth becomes a beak. The arms and legs become longer, allowing for fast running speed and the fingers and toes are tipped with suction cups.

Tiefsee-Zahn do not feed on:

Kraken (couldn't find a German word cool enough) Although they are superficially similar, Kraken are no Tintenfisch. Kraken are evil geniuses and aggressive masterminds. They are highly intelligent giant squid-like wesen known for using their powers for evil. Kraken are a Grimm's worst nightmare, they are stronger than Grimms and it is rumored they can keep their own against multiple Grimms at a time. They have an innate need for violence and are often quiet and harmless until they inevitably snap. When woged their muscle fibers are dense. making them stronger with less muscle. Their embrace can easily crush a grown (human) man. They have an ongoing rivalry with Melonekopf (sperm whale-like wesen).

Just so you know:

Wolfsfalle (Ger. wolftrap) Very aggressive wolftrap anglerfish-like wesen. Similar to Tiefsee-Zahn, but with more streamlined head and the lure hangs from the chin. Often a henchman for aggressive wesen.
