'''''Grimm''''' is a [[Cops and Detectives|detective series]] with significant [[Fantasy Series]] and [[Horror Series]] elements.
 
Nick Burkhardt, a new on the beat homicide police detective with the Portland Police Bureau in Oregon, is about to marry the woman of his dreams. He comes home to discover his Aunt Marie has turned up unexpectedly. They take a walk and she hits him with the truth she's been keeping secret from him: he is one of the last descendants of the Grimm family—as in [[The Brothers Grimm (creator)|The Brothers Grimm]]—and as such, is gifted with the ability to see monsters, or "Wesen", walking among us, and that his family has hunted and slain these monsters for generations.
Line 144:
** "Plumed Serpent" has a quote at the beginning from ''The Two Brothers''.
** "Leave It to Beavers" is based on ''[[The Three Billy Goats Gruff]]''.
** "Happily Ever Aftermath" is based on ''[[Cinderella (Literaturefairy tale)|Cinderella]]'' {{spoiler|but inverted, with the stepmother and stepsisters being terrorized by the entitled, sociopathic Cinderella expy}}.
** "Big Feet" is about Big Foot {{spoiler|but not really. It's more like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde}}, although the official website states that it was based off the story of ''Hans the Hedgehog''.
* [[Femme Fatale]]: Adalind Schade, and possibly all the Hexenbiest who are said to be lovely in human form, and are loyal servants to royalty.
Line 282:
* [[Playing With Fire]]: The Wesen in "Plumed Serpent", known as Dämonfeuer, have [[Breath Weapon|fire breath]]. They apparently do this by vaporizing their fat, "vomiting" that vapor into the air, then somehow igniting it through static electricity. The family includes two flamethrower operators, a welder, and a fire dancer, so they obviously quite like fire.
* [[Poisoned Weapons]]: The {{spoiler|bullets}} in "Game Ogre" were poisoned.
* [[Potent Pheromones]]: Zigevolks are goat-like Wesen who have a gland that releases pheromones from their sweat. By eating live amphibians, they can stimulate more pheromones and make them airborne to enthrall people.
* [[The Power of Blood]]: There are several kinds of potion that include blood of the maker and blood of the target as ingredients; these potions can only be cured by killing the person who made it. Furthermore, {{spoiler|if a Hexenbiest ingests the blood of a Grimm they [[Brought Down to Normal|become human]]}}.
* [[Product Placement]]:
Line 362 ⟶ 363:
* [[Wrong Genre Savvy]]: Nick mixes Blutbaden with werewolves, and asks if he might need silver bullets.
{{quote|'''Monroe''': What, are you an ''idiot''?}}
* [[:Category:Yandere|Yandere]]: Ariel Eberhart from "Plumed Serpent" quickly demonstrates an intense obsession with Nick.
* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: {{spoiler|Renard}} to Leo in "Last Grimm Standing".
** Renard once again to {{spoiler|Adalind}} sort of.
