A Drang-Zorn (DRAHNG-tsorn; Ger. Drang "urge, stress" + Zorn "rage, fury, or wrath") is a badger-like Wesen that first appeared in "The Bottle Imp".
Characteristics[]
When they woge, Drang-Zorn gain black fur over their face, neck, and arms. Their features shift, becoming badger-like, and they gain razor sharp teeth. Their ears elongate, and they are sexually dimorphic. Their hands develop large claws suitable for digging. Males have a much more severe woge, growing hair all over their bodies, while females keep their normal hair, grow fur over their arms and hands, and just have the features change.
Physically, Drang-Zorn are unimaginably powerful, exhibited when April Granger, despite being 9 years old, was able to overpower an adult man on two occasions. Like actual badgers, a Drang-Zorn's main form of attack is a powerful bite; their jaws are strong enough to sever flesh and bone with ease. As Drang-Zorn age, their strength and lethal quality of their bite doesn't diminish all that much, as observed with Norm Stanton, an elderly Drang-Zorn who was suffering from dementia. Mr. Stanton was able to easily kill two adult humans, one male and one female in different instances, while suffering from his condition, though it should be noted his victims were totally taken by surprise, so they did not have much of a chance to defend themselves.
A Drang-Zorn is capable of digging a hole in the earth for refuge. This hole is often compact enough that the Drang-Zorn cannot move in and out of the hole in his or her human form. ("The Icy Touch")
Behavior[]
They are known to have a very short temper and are very easily enraged, prone to violent outbursts. However, if faced with an adversary that they know they could not prevail over, Drang-Zorns will instead take refuge in underground dens that they built for cases such as these, and they are quite adept at constructing them. Some Drang-Zorns are better tempered than others and have a kinder, more compassionate side, however.
If a Drang-Zorn were to woge before the age of thirteen, they will suffer from a lack of inhibition needed to control their rage and will become homicidal toward anyone who angers them, even towards their own kind. This often leads the parents to resort to great lengths isolating their children from others for long periods until they learn how to control themselves.
