A Seltenvogel (ZEL-tən-voh-gəl; Ger. selten "rare" + Vogel "bird") is a rare bird-like Wesen. Seltenvogels are so rare in the Wesen community that they were thought to be extinct in most circles, although one appeared in "The Thing with Feathers".
Characteristics[]
When woged, they have a multi-colored head and beak, and they gain glittering golden eyes. They are not very strong, given their long history of captivity, and easy prey for stronger Wesen. They are prized for developing a brittle, egg-shaped stone made mostly of gold, called an Unbezahlbar, and were enslaved or imprisoned in earlier times and force-fed to produce them. The stone develops in a sac in the Seltenvogel's throat, and if it is not removed, the Seltenvogel can suffocate and die. It can be safely removed by making an incision vertically along the stone's widest point, taking care to avoid the major blood-vessels of the throat, detaching it from the Faserig (Ger. "fibrous") membrane containing it, and gently lifting the Unbezahlbar out.
Behavior[]
They appear to be a naturally timid race, as Robin Steinkellner was easily controlled by simple reassurances that Tim Steinkellner still loved her, despite his abusive and possessive nature.
Like many Wesen species, Seltenvogels are afraid of Grimms. However, they are willing to trust them if they prove to be trustworthy, or if they have no other choice.
