Gefiederten Derjenige Spiesst (Ger. feathered one who impales)

These are interesting shrike-like wesen. They were one of the very first wesen discovered (the reason for their mouthful of a name) and, as a result, are quite rare nowadays and have narrowly escaped extinction on a few occasions, including "Der Krieg Zwischen den Guten Und den Gefiederten Derjenigen die Aufspiessen" (Ger. the war between the good and the feathered ones who impale), a literal war between Grimms and these ferocious wesen that happened on a presently unknown date. These wesen are related to both Krahenfeder (a crow-like wesen) and Gartenanlagengast (a vireo-like wesen), but they are much more bloodthirsty than either of them. They are known for viciously impaling their victims. Their lairs are hidden deep in clearings of thick forests and are known as "Lichtungen des Todes" (Ger. clearings of death). If you stumble upon a Lichtung des Tod during a hike in the woods, you will find dozens of dead or dying bodies suspended on tall sharp wooden spikes called "Tod Dornen" (Ger. death thorns). Grimms who raid Lichtungen des Todes often bring back one or two Tod Dornen to use on other wesen. Their is a Tod Dorn in Aunt Marie's trailer (presumably). They lure humans to their lairs with alluring calls that can't really be described.

When woged, the body becomes covered in grey feathers and black feather markings appear on the head (around the eyes and mouth). The front of the face morphs into a black, sharp beak that is used to rip their victims to pieces once the ripened body is ready for consumption.

Notables: Vlad the Impaler, usually credited with inspiring the legend of vampires.

I am very excited about this wesen; wouldn't it make an awesome episode?!
