Line 84:
* [[Cultured Badass]]: Captain Renard.
** Monroe can be called this too, given some of his hobbies.
* [[Cute Monster Girl]]: Female Blutbaden get fangs and red eyes when they put on their [[Game Face]]s, but are otherwise much more human-looking than male Blutbaden. Same applies when we see a female fuschbau. HexenbeisteHexenbiests on the other hand, not so much. YMMV on mellifers, spinnetods, and daemonfeuer.
** Special mention goes to Rosalee, who is by far the cutest female Wesen seen.
*** Bree Turner the actress who portrays Rosalee is recognized for her big [[Brown Eyes]].
Line 125:
'''Edgar Waltz''': Of course not! You kept your end of the bargain. I wouldn't dream of torturing your ''family''.}}
* [[Expy]]: DJ Retched Kat in "Danse Macabre" is one of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadmau5 deadmau5.]
* [[Eyeless Face]]: The hexenbiestsHexenbiests display this trope.
* [[Eye Scream]]: A dead victim in "Organ Grinder" gets his eyes pecked out by a raven as he's floating down the river.
** And in "Happily Ever Aftermath", several victims get their eyeballs ruptured by the Murcialago's sonic scream. Very bloodily, at that.
Line 146:
** "Happily Ever Aftermath" is based on ''[[Cinderella (Literature)|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 hexenbeistHexenbiest who are said to be lovely in human form, and are loyal servants to royalty.
* [[Feuding Families]]:
** The Grimms have been killing Wesen for centuries, and the families of the dead hold grudges. Monroe's grandfather was killed by a Grimm and he is afraid that he will be disowned if his family finds out that he is helping Grimms instead of killing them.
Line 245:
* [[Mentor Occupational Hazard]]: Aunt Marie ends up in a hospital bed after an attack by Hulda the Troll, and a nurse reveals Marie's body is [[Covered with Scars]]. Nick fends off another attempt to kill her while visiting her. {{spoiler|She dies in the second episode}}.
** The Wesen mentor in "Happily Ever Aftermath" ends up like this too {{spoiler|at the hands of his mentee, no less}}.
* [[Mind Screw]]: In-universe, this happens to Hank. Warning to the wary, never eat cookies from a hexenbiestHexenbiest
* [[Monster of the Week]]: Looks like that's going to be the format here. That said, the show does seem to make an effort to have recurring creatures outside of the [[Myth Arc]] creatures like blutbaden. As the series has progressed and matured to the point where much of the initial world building has already taken place, it has become less about new monsters and more about the drama. To a certain extent, the [[Police Procedural]] aspects have been toned down as well, serving more as an excuse for Nick to get involved/informed about the situation than as an actual story line where someone gets arrested.
* [[Monsters Anonymous]]: Monroe.
Line 282:
* [[Playing With Fire]]: The Wesen in "Plumed Serpent", known as Daemonfeuer, 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.
* [[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 hexenbiestHexenbiest ingests the blood of a Grimm they [[Brought Down to Normal|become human]]}}.
* [[Product Placement]]:
** iPod, iPhone, and Nike, all within the first five minutes of the first episode.
