Timothy tells him it was some sort of severe head injury before he [[woge]]s. Timothy grabs Henry with his hands as he uses four of his tentacles to go into the back of Henry's head as they fall to the ground. After a few minutes, Timothy finishes his attack on Henry.

A Gedächtnis Esser (guh-DAYKHT-niss ESS-er; Ger. 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 lose 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 each tentacle is covered in multiple suction cups. They use the four tentacles to burrow into the back of their victims' heads to steal their memories; exactly how this is accomplished is unknown, but it is theorized that it has something to do with the electrical charges of the brain. Victims are left with severe swelling around the hippocampus and other parts of the brain associated with memory, and they are left with no memory of who they are; thus, they are often mistakenly diagnosed with advanced dementia. If the process of stealing their victims' memories is interrupted, however, the Gedächtnis Esser only acquires whatever memories have been stolen up to the point of disruption, and their victims retain their memories (albeit still suffer from momentary disorientation), as was seen with both Kent Vickers and Trubel.
Behavior
Gedächtnis Essers sometimes use their ability to steal memories to take over their victims' 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 highly traumatized state, given the violence that Grimms often inflict upon Wesen. Consequentially, they are very fearful of Grimms.
Excerpt from Grimm Diaries
It is not known how this Wesen removes the memories of its victims, only that it can. I surmise it has something to do with the electrical charges in the brain. After an attack the victims are usually diagnosed with advanced dementia.
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.

| “ | An octopus-like creature that uses four appendages to burrow into its victim's head and steal his or her memories.

Trivia
- While the German "Gedächtnis" translates into English as "memory," the term comes from a root indicating "thought," which therefore possibly suggests core personality as much as individual recollections.
