Grimm

Nature
Grimms are tasked with policing the creature world, making sure that those who harm humans are stopped.
For this reason many Wesen mistrust or fear them, even having their own set of Wesen fairy tales warning Wesen children about the Grimms.
Grimms possess superior fighting skills, good heads for observation, and uncanny instincts for people and their personalities, even besides their ability to sense the supernatural.
So police work seems a rather good fit, as is law.

Within a single family group, not all members of a Grimm's family become Grimms.
In some cases, entire generations can pass without any relative showing signs of their abilities, only for several Grimms to emerge in the same generation.
As a general rule, females become aware of their abilities earlier than males.

Although the majority of the Grimms discussed so far are of European descent, Grimms seem to be found worldwide.

Grimms seem to have preference for decapitation and there are many references to them cutting off their victims' heads.
This tactic made them so infamous in ancient Roman times that this led to their original Latin name, Dēcapitāre.
This name has since fallen out of fashion and is now only used by traditional Wesen such as Gelumcaedus.

Powers
Grimms possess many powers, the most used one is their ability to see Wesen when they are woged, but only if the Wesen is startled, scared, angered, stressed or something else happens that disrupts the Wesen's concentration.
They are also able to see woged Wesen on film recordings.

Grimms have absolutely no influence over this ability.
Grimms have one to two extra cones in their eyes compared to most people, which allows them to see things most people can't, such as Wesen.

A woged Wesen can detect a Grimm by looking into their eyes, they can see an "infinite darkness" in a Grimm's eyes that reflects the Wesen's true nature.

However, modern Grimms can use sunglasses to avoid detection from Wesen via eye contact.

A Grimm's ability to detect Wesen is not limited to sight.
Blind Grimm gain a sixth sense to sense Wesen, a sort of subtle electric tension in their jaw and forehead when there are Wesen nearby. This "sixth sense" alerts the other perceptory senses, in effect amplifying them.

Due to Grimm's differences in nature, they react differently to Cracher-Mortel spit than other people. The rage stage comes much earlier, and the Cracher-Mortel is unable to control them. They also still possess their Grimm powers making them very dangerous. Nevertheless, despite being disoriented and confused, they are still calmer and don't just charge at people to attack them like other humans and Wesen under the control of a Cracher-Mortel.

Grimms also possess slightly superhuman strength, durability, agility, reflex, speed, and even morphallaxis.

This allows them to go toe to toe with any Wesen, except Siegbarste, and survive things that would kill a normal person.

Grimms' strength can also be measured in the fact they can casually take down Wesen who possess superhuman strength, such Jagerbar's or Klaustreich, and can easily overpower humans.

It has also been shown that the blood of a Grimm can destroy the animal part of a Hexenbiest.

In essence, the Hexenbiest becomes human after this and is no longer a part of the Wesen world.
It is currently unknown if this will work on other members of the Wesen world.
Furthermore it is unable to work if it has been performed before, or if the Hexenbiest has Grimm blood in their veins.

Grimm also possesses greater resistance to arsenic's drug-like effects, and are thus able to resist the effect of the Coins of Zakynthos.

As well as this, Grimms seem to have a natural aptitude for fighting, particularly against Wesen, and with ancient and medieval weapons. They also possess incredible observation abilities and keen instincts. There also seems to be some natural aptitude in the Grimm lines of artistic talent.

A Grimm's powers can be removed by a Hexenbiest who ingests the vapor of a Verfluchte Zwillingsschwester potion, becoming a doppelgänger, usually the romantic partner of the Grimm, and then having sex with the Grimm. A Grimm's first warning of the loss of his powers is the inability to see Wesen woge. A Grimm's powers may be restored if they have sex with the person that the Hexenbiest disguised themselves as to take the Grimm's powers after that person has inhaled a Verfluchte Zwillingsschwester potion to transform themselves into the appearance of the Hexenbiest. Having one's powers restored is a gradual process that involves some discomfort for the Grimm.

Endezeichen Grimms are the worst type of Grimms there is; they are ruthless, xenophobic and sadistic Grimms, who savagely torture and murder Wesen, not caring if the Wesen in question are good or bad since they believe all Wesen are abominations.
