||
| − | A '''Löwen''' (''LOH-win''; Ger. ''Löwe'' "lion") is a lion-like [[Wesen]] that first appeared in {{ep|112}}. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==History== |
||
| − | The Löwen were once kings of a jungle area somewhere in Africa, but were captured and forced to fight in the gladiatorial arena by the ancient Romans. Following their capture, the Löwen at some point began the [[Löwen Games]], where they forced other Wesen to fight to the death; in the modern day, however, this is rare. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Characteristics== |
||
| − | Upon [[woge]], Löwen undergo a fairly significant change. Some male Löwen grow long hanging hair when they woge, while other males grow large bushy manes. Female Löwen have much less hair when they woge and slightly less pronounced features, though some females, such as [[Maggie Bowden]], have facial hair in their woged state. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Löwen are incredibly strong and much faster than humans. They are able to casually overpower and kill humans, and on at least one occasion, Löwen have been able to hold out in a fight with a [[Grimm]]. Löwen physical prowess is renowned, so much that when trying to physically enhance her son, [[Dr. Higgins]], a [[Genio Innocuo]], chose Löwen DNA to do so. One Löwen was easily able to hold [[Monroe]] (although he never got a chance to woge and wasn't at full strength), while a few of them were even able to overpower a [[Skalenzahne]] (though notably, they used lassos). |
||
| − | |||
| − | Löwen are capable of lion-like jumps and able to move with incredible stealth, allowing them to sneak up on their victims, much like how actual lions hunt. They are also incredibly durable creatures, able to withstand incredible force, such as being repeatedly punched in the head by a Grimm or thrown across the room, and recover minutes later. Löwen have razor sharp claws and teeth. Like actual lions, they generally kill their victims by biting their necks or slashing their throats. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Behavior== |
||
| − | Löwen are naturally aggressive, competitive, and violent, and they are also known for having a horrible temper. Despite this, they are still capable of peacefully living amongst humans and having normal lives. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Löwen who do still hold the Games also take the gladiator philosophy seriously for themselves and don't mind dying in combat. According to Monroe, not all Löwen are into the Löwen Games, but all are furious and vicious. In addition, they seem to like to capture and exploit other Wesen, as [[Hedig|one]] was a ringmaster for a Wesen carnival. Löwen are highly carnivorous; according to Monroe, "They will rip off your face, then eat it." This implies some Löwen actually eat humans, though this is considered to be something of the past by more reformed Löwen who only hunt small animals.{{xref|419}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | Most Löwen do not appear to fear Grimms, as multiple Löwen have shown nothing more than surprise upon realizing Nick is one, although Hedig ran away from Nick when he saw him. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Löwen, particularly males, are natural leaders rather than followers, and this is often observed in their line of work, whether it be corrupt{{xref|112|316}} or honorable.{{xref|207|208|419}} |

||
| − | {{diary|''These lion creatures were captured and forced to fight one another in large arenas and coliseums in Ancient Roman times! The practice has changed in style and location, but remains otherwise the same today. Ancient Romans preferred Löwen to other Wesen for gladiator combat due to their '''incredible strength and ferocity'''.'' |
||
| − | |||
| − | ''In Ancient Roman times, Roman soldiers would Lasso and trap Löwen, enslaving them into a life of gladiator fights '''to the death'''.'' |
||
| − | |||
| − | ''Some Löwen have chosen to perpetuate the fighting practice, enslaving Wesen, including '''Dickfellig''', '''Skalenzahne''' and '''Blutbaden''' to name a few, and sending them into their own makeshift arenas.''}} |
