#ziegevolk

Now, based on her appeareance, i'm guessing their wesen form wouldn't really change that much compared to the human form? Idk, wanna hear what you think.

So, that's heckin' cool! I had assumed, because the only minisode/webisode I've seen or know about is the Bad Hair Day one, that Ziegevolk must be a primarily male species.

I've just read the synopsis of the story and now can only figure there aren't any main differences between male gender or female gendered Ziegevolk except for, perhaps, secondary sexual characteristics like the growth of or lack of a beard, the having of differently presenting genitalia, and mammary gland tissue growth, which is the same for people who aren't wesen.

So I assume that transitioning via hormones would act similarly to them in their human form as in their wesen form. Before reading this episode summary I also thought perhaps born male gendered Ziegevolk would be the only ones who could control others and that HRT might affect those abilities, but it seems moot with the new knowledge.

What is interesting is that their hormones work equally on male gendered and female gendered individuals (and presumably nonbinary and intersex folks). Additionally, it doesn't matter what gender they identify as or their presumed sexuality, their hormones work on everyone with the potential to be romantic.

It’s something I want to explore a bit more in my fanfic; based on that canon information, we can infer that other kinds of Wesen inspired the other Olympian gods, some possible examples being:

Eros/Cupid--> Cupiditas

Pan--> Ziegevolk

Hecate--> Hexenbiest (and as an aside, the Empousai are confirmed in the series to be wesen, as well)

Then there are stories of demigods/heroes, who could have been either Wesen of their own, or Grimms.

A Ziegevolk (TSEE-guh-folk) is a goat-like Wesen that first appeared in NBC’s Grimm episode "Lonelyhearts".

Excerpt from the Grimm Diaries: The goat folk, sometimes called Bluebeards, are as a goat... They do not seem violent. The danger comes from the instinctive necessity of their race... Quantity before quality.

Ziegevolk (German: Goat People)

The Ziegevolk are rather meek creatures and will always run rather than fight. They generally do not intend to kill their victims and are considered lovers, not fighters. They are commonly celebrities in Hollywood, and many are game show hosts. Ziegevolk are often found in bars, where they use their pheromones to lure and seduce victims. They are normally manipulative and arrogant creatures but are often mostly harmless. Ziegevolk that eat toads are not breeders, but herders, a rarity amongst the species. The toads stimulate a gland in the brain that controls the secretion of sweat. Larger volumes of pheromone-filled sweat can force anyone to do whatever they say.
