Pfoteweich (German for “soft paw”)



A chinchilla-like wesen. When woged, a pfoteweich develops large ears that are always alert, a very small nose, and sensory whiskers. It is also covered in bluish-grey fur that is extremely soft and velvety. This wesen has sharp teeth and large, focused black eyes that enable it to stay alert and aware of its surroundings. Pfotenweich are capable of escaping danger very quickly and they usually run away when they are threatened. They may also voluntarily leave a patch of their velvety fur behind if they are grabbed or attacked in order to get away from their enemies as fast as they can. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to catch them. Pfotenweich do not usually go looking for trouble, but if they feel violated, they may resort to using their sharp teeth to attack their enemies. However, it is rare for them to do so. Pfotenweich are lazy creatures that are stuck in their ways. They can be very social, but only with people they know well. They often lack self-esteem, which causes them to try to intimidate others. Even though they may act tough around other people, they are extremely sensitive on the inside.Pfotenweich are easily devastated.





 Schwimmhäutetaucher (German for “webbed diver”)



A duck-like wesen. When woged, it becomes covered in soft, downy feathers that vary in color. It develops two small, glassy eyes and a broad, flat bill. It also has webbed feet that enable it to be good at swimming and diving. The schwimmhäutetaucher is a very shy creature that almost never takes initiative. It is always extremely positive and loves every aspect of life. However, this quality can be extremely dangerous because the schwimmhäutetaucher does not pay any attention to the evil in the world, making it a vulnerable being. When it is threatened, it rarely fights back. It may try to escape by swimming or diving, seeing that it is almost always near a body of water. Happy-go-lucky individuals and amazing swimmers are often schwimmhäutetaucher.







Kriegerwilde (German for “wild warrior”)



This wesen is based on Enkidu from The Epic of Gilgamesh. When woged, the kriegerwilde resembles a wild man that has not experienced any type of human civilization. It develops thick, course hair all over its body and communicates with animals instead of humans. Its behavior is equivalent to that of an untamed beast. This wesen cannot control its behavior when it is in this form and it often suffers from severe mood swings that cause it to attack everything in its path. There is only one way to tame this wesen in order to prevent it from being uncontrollable when woged. There is a certain stage in every kriegerwilde’s life that is called Zeit der Anfänge (“time of beginnings” in German). This is when it reaches adolescence and starts to become an adult. However, this stage only lasts for a short amount of time. This wesen can only be tamed if it falls desperately in love during this stage. Yet many do not fall in love during this stage and therefore, they remain untamed and extremely dangerous for the rest of their lives. Kriegerwilde are physically strong and violent towards others. They are also extremely boastful, believing that they are better than everyone else. They are usually very moody and tough.
