Category:Hexenbiest

A Hexenbiest (HEK-sən-beest; pl: -biester Germ. Hexe "witch" + Biest "beast") is a witch-like Wesen that resembles a demon or goblin. They are based on witches such as the one in "Snow White", seemingly concerned only about their own beauty and popularity, they have been known to do things, such as apply leaches to the face, to make their skin paler. They work at the command of royalty and are extremely loyal creatures, but only to them, as to others they are trecherous and manipulative.

When dealing with a Hexenbiest it is important to not to get on their bad side as they do not forgive and are capable of killing a person in subtle and highly effective ways. This implies that they are among the strongest Wesen, as a Blutbad, Monroe, was very cautious when confronting one. According to Rosalee, it is not normal for a human to fall for a Hexenbiest.

Transformed or untransformed, they can be identified by a dark birthmark on the underside of their tongues. Hexinbiests are also shown to be superhumanly strong, able to causily overpower a grown man, and are about as strong as a Grimm, or possibly just less than, as Nick was able to gain the upper hand in a fight with Adalind.

They are also known for their knowledge of "Zaubertranks", which they can use to many effects, such as bewitching a person, and have many highly emotive, compulsive and deadly affects.

They are the only natural enemy of Mellifers.

If a Hexenbiest ingests the blood of a Grimm their Wesen part will be destroyed and they will become a normal human.

The Hexenbiest are discussed in the entry regarding the Mellifers, it states: ''The Mellifer seems to be the only natural predator of the Hexenbiest. A Mellifer attacks the Hexenbiest using a potent apitoxin, which kills the Hexenbiest instantly. The fighting skills of a Hexenbiest are only matched by the Queen Bee herself. Here, a Mellifer cuts out the marked tongue of the Hexenbiest to study the powers and secrets of their kind. A Hexenbiest mark can be found under the tongue in both human and morphed forms.''
