Dietary Traits In general, rippers are omnivorous, but they prefer carnivorous diets, especially when they are predators and live in the wild. They are capable of eating both humans and other creatures if necessary. After feeding, the creature remains satiated for seven to ten days. "Renewed" rippers prefer a strict vegetarian diet to keep their instincts under control. "Renewed" rippers Some rippers choose a non-violent life and attend church. These are known as "renewed" rippers. Monroe adheres to a strict regimen of vegetarian diet, medication, and exercise (though other means of self-control are possible), while a normal ripper must obey their instincts and live according to natural customs.

The Ripper nature emerges halfway before puberty, and they also possess a significant survival instinct. While Rippers are not afraid of Grimm, they deeply hate them, and their first reaction upon encountering a Grimm is to attack.

Cats become aggressive in the presence of Rippers.

Rippers are vulnerable to a mushroom called the Black Melancholy Mushroom, also known as the Black Melancholy Mushroom, found primarily in the Black Forest. While the mushroom is completely harmless when raw, when cooked, it releases a toxin that is fatal to Rippers, causing severe pain and a bloated stomach. Rippers instinctively climb to the treetops, where the reduced atmospheric pressure releases spores that rupture the creature's stomach. Behavior Rippers lose the ability to control their instincts when in the company of their own kind, suggesting that the pack mentality is overriding human consciousness. Thus, many rippers typically embrace a solitary existence, living in a single, private territory in solitude. However, abstinence is also possible when rippers with the slightest family connection reunite, as exemplified by the reunion of Monroe, Angelina, and Hap, as well as Monroe's meeting with Holly Clark. The light of the full moon also causes rippers to become numb. It is not uncommon for rippers to kill a person or other creature. However, their worst relationships are with pig-nosed creatures, whom they have killed and terrorized for sport for centuries. They also have poor relationships with kind people, whom they consider prey, and they look down on red-tails, to whom they are similar in many ways but still stronger. Nevertheless, they are extremely loyal to their friends and family, and almost never kill their own kind—only the most corrupt and vengeful would do so.

Creature Nature Compared to many canine creatures, the appearance of rippers changes little upon ripping: their facial features sharpen, their fur grows (less in women than in men), their claws grow, their teeth sharpen, and their gaze becomes vicious and predatory. Their eyes turn scarlet, and their voice changes, becoming deeper and heavier. Women tend to have a much more ferocious gaze than men.

From the transformations of numerous rippers, it can be concluded that each has its own unique true form. Postman and Hap Lesser in their true forms resemble wolves more than Monroe, who retains human features even after ripping.

Physically, rippers are incredibly strong and agile in both forms, far stronger than ordinary humans and even some creatures. Their bite is fatal, as they typically kill their prey by biting the neck or throat. They are also extremely fast, flexible, strong, and resilient. They have a weak spot in their lower back, but over time, their physiology has developed an immunity to blows to the lower back: this is how Angelina Lesser was able to rise and attack Nick, and then escape, although at the time of their study, such a blow would have simply paralyzed the creature.

Rippers have an excellent sense of smell, allowing them to recognize even perfumes and use their sense of smell for surveillance, detecting the presence of other creatures, and sometimes even recognizing their species. However, wolfsbane supposedly dulls this sense. Furthermore, Rippers can hear on the same frequencies as dogs.

Rippers have excellent vision both day and night thanks to their eyes, which reflect light, creating a glowing effect.

Monroe was a ripper who lived a rather secluded life on the outskirts of Portland. His life changed dramatically when he met Grimm, Nick Burkhardt. To Monroe's surprise, they became close friends, and the ripper repeatedly assisted Nick in his investigations.

Henry Griffin, known to everyone as Hank, is a Portland police detective and a close friend and partner of Nick Burkhardt.

Nicholas "Nick" Burkhardt (born June 18, 1982) is a Grimm and police detective in Portland. He discovered his nature in 2011. Uniquely, he became the first known Grimm to show compassion towards creatures. In 2014, he temporarily lost his powers.

Efram Geiger is Roddy Geiger's father. He is a very blunt and straightforward man. When detectives showed up at his house, Efram was not at all happy about them, calling them "cops." He stood up for his son and demanded they leave him alone, but lost his temper and revealed himself—that's when Grimm realized he was a creature.

He was arrested for assaulting Hank and resisting police. While in custody, he suddenly became ill, but apparently recovered. (Roddy has no mother.)

Behavior They are similar to rats in that they are very unfussy and feed on carrion. They are peaceful creatures, like their close relatives the wood-borers, scavengers, and sharpskins, but unlike them (with the exception of sharpskins), scavengers are not at all meek or cowardly. However, they are very cautious in the presence of a powerful creature, but can be very temperamental, especially if something goes against their will, and losing patience can lead to aggression. Scavengers are also easily offended and likely vindictive.

Scavengers are related to true rats. For example, Efram Geiger, as a rat exterminator, preferred to keep them with him in cages rather than kill them.

Like many creatures, scavengers fear Grimms, but they are not particularly frightened—they are simply cautious in their presence.

When a scavenger is weakened, its eyes darken, its ears become larger, its face becomes pointed, and its front teeth, the incisors, become larger.

Scavengers compensate for their lack of superhuman strength with speed and agility, allowing them to move quickly, though they are still inferior to Grimm in speed. They are also very resilient. It should be noted that a scavenger's endurance can also be boosted by the adrenaline rush caused by the yellow plague, whose effects they can withstand much longer than other creatures (for example, longer than sharpskins and redtails).

Scavengers sometimes have great musical potential. They are able to hypnotize and control rats, just as honeybees control bees. Thus, Efram Geiger believed his son Rodi was a child prodigy.

A young man of 19 years old with pale skin, curly dark brown hair, and large light blue eyes. His features are soft, almost deceptively calm, and his gaze betrays a perpetual weariness and wariness. He prefers dark, discreet clothing—hoodies, jackets, and sometimes hats—trying to blend in and avoid attention. He gives the impression of being withdrawn and internally tense, accustomed to keeping his distance. He is a scavenger from the world of "Grimm," like his father, Efram Geiger, who inherited not only nature but also the trade of a rat-catcher. He was once an exceptionally talented violinist and attended a prestigious school, but due to poverty, he constantly faced humiliation and bullying. His pent-up anger and despair erupted in a fight, after which he was expelled, dashing his musical future. Later, he found another way to express himself and survive: anonymously, under the pseudonym "Trash Cat," he began throwing underground raves in Portland. Music, noise, and the city at night became a form of escape and a way to regain control of his life, albeit on the fringes of the law.

Grimms possess abilities inaccessible to ordinary humans. However, these abilities manifest gradually, not all at once.

The Grimm's primary ability is the ability to see creatures after they have retreated. This is due to the extra color cones in a Grimm's eye. This occurs when a creature is subject to strong emotions—fear, anger, rage—and is unable to control themselves, which also reveals their essence in video recordings. Grimms have no control over this ability, which is directly dependent on the extra color cones in their eyes, allowing them to see things that ordinary humans cannot. A ritual performed against a Grimm, based on the Twin Devil Potion, causes swelling in the area of the extra color cones, which contributes to the loss of the ability to see creatures. Recovered creatures can detect a Grimm by their eyes. According to Monroe, a Grimm's eyes become infinitely black, allowing the creatures to see a reflection of their true nature, making sunglasses a surefire way to avoid detection. However, the ability to see creatures isn't the only possibility: according to Nick, he can sense them after a rage, as he demonstrated when he temporarily lost his sight.

Grimm's uniqueness gives it a different reaction to the Deathspitter's saliva: when the rage stage occurs earlier, Grimm doesn't submit to the Deathspitter's control, and a second dose of tetrodotoxin is ineffective. Grimm still possesses its abilities, making it extremely dangerous; however, despite its disorientation and confusion, it remains calm and doesn't attack people without reason, unlike other zombies. This also enhances its resistance and durability, allowing it to remain underwater for extended periods or survive suffocation. Grimms possess superhuman strength, resilience, agility, speed, endurance, and reflexes. They can also develop enhanced senses, primarily hearing. This allows them to confront any creatures they encounter. Few creatures can fight on equal terms with Grimm.

Grimms have long been entrusted with protecting the world from creatures that harm humans. For this reason, many creatures distrust them, fear them, and even tell their children stories about them and Grimms. Grimms possess superhuman strength, resilience, agility, speed, endurance, and reflexes. Thus, police work fits their nature perfectly.

While most Grimms severed ties with the Royal Families centuries ago, they sometimes work with them and the Verrat, helping to maintain order among creatures. This is another reason why even a single Grimm can be feared: the prospect of incurring the wrath of the Royal Family is not something any creature relishes. Grimm abilities are strictly hereditary, but not all Grimm children inherit these abilities. Sometimes it takes several generations before a new Grimm is born into the family. Awareness of these abilities does not come immediately, but rather in adolescence or later. Women typically discover their Grimm abilities earlier than men.

While Grimms are believed to originate in Europe, they are found in various nations. All Grimms descend from the First Grimm and are distantly related to one another. How the First Grimm himself became a Grimm is unknown. Grimms have a particular preference for decapitation, as evidenced by the name Dēcapitāre, given to them during the Roman Empire. Over time, this name was abandoned, but is currently used only by creatures with their own traditions, such as coldbloods.

Grimms also have a penchant for sketching everything that happens around them. For example, Nick Burkhardt, upon his first serious encounter with a creature (who also turned out to be a reaper), immediately sketched it in his notebook, and Teresa Rubel kept a diary of the creatures in a notebook, despite both being unaware of the Grimm tradition of sketching new creatures.

It is possible that any ability acquired by a Grimm remains with him for the rest of his life

At an unknown point in time, most Grimms severed all ties with the Royal Families, prompting them to create an organization called the Verrat. Since a small number of Grimms remained employed there, this became another reason for the creatures to fear the Grimms—their appearance meant the wrath of the Royal Family.

By the early 19th century, all creatures knew and feared the Grimms. The creatures used them to frighten their children. The famous storytellers, the Brothers Grimm, collected numerous echoes of the world of the creatures. They themselves did not inherit the traits of their ancestors, yet their surname subsequently became synonymous with all Grimms.

It was only in the early 21st century, thanks to Nick Burkhardt, that the creatures' attitude toward the Grimms began to change. He befriended the creatures and sought to approach every matter in which he encountered them from an independent perspective.

Dēcapitāre (from Latin, "head-choppers")—that's how the Grimms were known in the earliest recorded history, dating back to the 1st century CE. During the Fourth Crusade, seven knights, Grimms in the service of the Royal Families, sacked Constantinople, from which they recovered a treasure so powerful that they chose to hide it from the Families. They hid the artifacts and created a map divided into seven parts. These knights became the ancestors of those now called Grimms, after the renowned cultural theorists Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. Over the next several centuries, the Grimms acted as a kind of police force for the creature world, hunting down and killing those aggressive toward humans. They could also act as neutral parties in disputes between the creatures themselves. For example, in 1521, several Grimms were present at the creation of the Code of Honor for the creatures. Subsequently, the Grimms also enforced this law and punished disobedient creatures.

However, from time to time, radicals emerged among the Grimms who believed that creatures should not live in this world at all. They deliberately sought them out and dealt with them brutally, regardless of their species or law-abiding nature. These radicals were called true Grimms. It was likely to combat them that the creatures created the organization of Reapers, which was subsequently used to exterminate any Grimms they found objectionable.

The Grimms traveled extensively, and during the Age of Discovery, virtually no expedition was complete without them. The Grimms' goal at that time was to find and study new species of creatures.

At some point, the Grimms learned of the coins of Zakynthos and their inherent immunity to artifacts, allowing them to become the guardians of the coins.

A Grimm (Latin: dēcapitāre) is a human with a special ability that allows them to see creatures after they have subsided, regardless of whether the creature wishes to be seen. For centuries, Grimms have studied and hunted creatures, protecting humans from the most dangerous.

Some species, such as ripper creatures and redtails, perform a process called Vertrautheiten, which allows them to develop trust. To do this, the creatures swarm and rub cheeks to memorize each other's scent.

If a creature enters full swarm mode too often, the essence eventually takes over the human part. This disorder is called imbalance (German: Umkippen), and the creature suffering from it can spiral out of control and be unable to regain its humanity without intervention. Typically, actions performed by a disturbed essence do not remain in the creature's memory.In some cases, genetic complications arise when it comes to hybridization. It's quite possible that the offspring of a human and a creature, such as a witch, will only be able to partially hybridize. It's also possible for the DNA of two different species to interbreed in utero, but this can cause personality disorders and split personality. However, since this transformation in the series was the result of a genetic experiment, the consequences of natural hybridization are unknown.

To this day, the origin of the creatures remains unknown. They have two transitional physical states. Moreover, there are species that simultaneously harbor two personalities with opposing behaviors within a single body. Genetically, the creatures also differ from humans and form a "para-sapiens" group—where several different sets of DNA are contained within a single system.

The creatures' human form is largely similar to that of a normal human. However, their physiology includes nuances, such as susceptibility to certain diseases (such as the yellow plague) and drugs (such as Jay).

The community consists of both good and bad creatures. It is also noticeable that their behavior corresponds to their biological species. For example, Rippers are very hot-tempered and cruel, Crushers are touchy and vengeful, and Honeyeaters live in entire social groups with their own queen and have a penchant for transmitting messages. Some creatures have their own rituals and ceremonies, the knowledge of which is passed down from generation to generation. Only the Grimms and the Seven Royal Families are aware of the creatures' existence; the rest live in blissful ignorance, only occasionally encountering something inexplicable. Some creatures possess abilities that allow them to influence or control people. For example, the Goathorne uses pheromones to manipulate its victims. The Muse's lips secrete a psychotropic substance that causes euphoria and addiction, ultimately leading to dire consequences. The Deathspitter produces a specially formulated saliva, with which it can create an army of zombies.

Despite the fact that the creatures belong to the "para-sapiens" group, many of them eat humans (for example, rippers, jackals, wendigos, coyotes, and feltooths) or other creatures (for example, rippers eat pigsnouts and goodies, and scroungers eat hoarders).

Some creatures, such as the raub condor and the trapper, hunt other creatures, such as the lightpelt or the cross-eye, respecti

A creature (German: Wesen "creature," Spanish: Espiritu bestia "beast spirit") is a term used to describe those creatures whose essences Grimm can perceive. They are mentioned not only in the Brothers Grimm's fairy tales but also in legends and folklore from various cultures. For example, the Anubis, the Aswang, the Wendigo, the Fire Demon, and the Ripper are all taken from classical mythology. When the creatures subside, they are able to recognize Grimm by their eyes. According to Monroe, Grimm's eyes become infinitely black, allowing the creatures to see a reflection of their true essence.The creatures descend from ancient races known as purebloods. Purebloods can be immortal and resemble gods, such as Anubis, Bast, and others in ancient Egypt. Today, purebloods try to keep a low profile. Moreover, their religious significance no longer carries weight, relegating them to mythical monsters. In Egypt, the creatures were worshiped, leading to Egyptian gods being depicted with animal heads. Thousands of slaves were tortured by the pharaohs in search of Anubis, and only a few were successfully mummified in full creature form. This is where the Beati Paoli comes in—an organization of creatures formed in the 17th century that opposes the display of the deceased. Most creatures, including the Council of Creatures, disapprove of the Beati Paoli's actions but also oppose the spread of the secret about the creatures.

During the Fourth Crusade, creatures controlled by the Grimms served in the armies of the Royal Families. The Families' loss of power and influence led to the creatures' spread across the world.

For centuries, fairs featuring shows performed by creatures were common. These carnivals trace their origins to the Circus Maximus in Rome, but have since lost their popularity. Technically, the creatures' retreat from public view do not violate the Swabian Code, presenting the wave to the public as a trick.
