A Wettbewerbsgewinner (VET-buh-veyʁbs-guh-VIN-uh; Ger. "competition winner") is an avian + reptilian-like Wesen that first appeared in "Into the Schwarzwald".
Characteristics[]
When woged, they are covered in an array of hard scales, spines, and beautiful feathery plumage. There is a lot of variation among the species, as both their scales and plumage come in a wide spectrum of colors. The jagged quality of their scales give these beasts an intimidating appearance, and their nose is a bit snout-like while still maintaining distinguishable reptilian qualities. Their hands also gain sharp claws in their woged form, and both their plumage and eyes glow.
Behavior[]
Not much is known about their behavior, though they seem to be loyal to those they serve. They do not possess superior intelligence and are capable of being easily tricked. They do not fear Grimms nearly as much as other Wesen do.

Fan Competition Winner[]
- This was the winner of the Grimme Your Best Shot competition, which was held on Tumblr in fall 2015 for fans to design a Wesen to appear in the 100th episode. It was designed by Jessica A. Short, a college student in Brooklyn, New York. Her original name for the species was Glødendødyret, which roughly translates to glødende "glowing" + død "death" + dyret "beast" in Norwegian.[1]
David Greenwalt and Jim Kouf Statement[]
"We chose this submission because of its unique artwork and her clear passion for the show. This Wesen fits into the Grimm world seamlessly and her style is similar to that of the conceptual artists on the show. Thanks to all of our fans who participated. We enjoyed looking at all your submissions."[2]
