A Gedächtnis Esser (guh-DAYKHT-niss ESS-er; Germ. Gedächtnis "memory" + Esser "eater") is an octopus-like Wesen that first appeared in "Thanks for the Memories".
Characteristics
Gedächtnis Essers possess an extremely severe woge. They loose all their hair, their skin turns a fleshy pink with a dark maw and they grow multiple tentacles. Of these tentacles, they have four main ones which are longer than the rest and tentacle is covered in multiple suction cups. They use the four tentacles to burrow into their victim's heads to steal their memories, exactly how it works is unknown, but it is theorized to have something to do with the electrical charges of the brain. The victim is left with severe swelling around the hippocampus and other parts of the brain that deal with memory, and they are left with no memory of who they are, in a state similar to advanced dementia.
Behavior
Gedächtnis Essers sometimes use their ability to steal memories to take over their victim's identities. Due to their unique skills, they also often work in espionage. It takes considerable effort for them to process these stolen memories. Furthermore, it seems the memories extracted from a Grimm will leave them in a traumatic state given the violence they often inflict upon Wesen. Consequentially, they are quite fearful of Grimms.
Excerpt from Grimm Diaries
From interviewing some of these unfortunate souls, I can see why. This is one of the most heinous Wesen I have ever encountered.
They rob the victims of their very lives by stealing their past and leaving them void of any human connection, devastating to their loved ones, and leaving the victim unable to identify the attack or the attacker. Justice within the confines of the law is therefore impossible.
I witnessed this Wesen attack a woman -- four of his tentacles pierced the back of her skull.
