Line 46:
* [[BFG]]: Among Aunt Marie's many weapons is a triple-barrel elephant gun. Its purpose is to kill Ogres. Interestingly, it's relatively realistic (the third, under-slung barrel is far smaller than the other two).
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: Nearly all of the Wesen names are ([[Blind Idiot Translation|at least supposedly]]) meaningful in German (Jägerbär, Ziegvolk, etc). The Mellifer, as an exception, is derived from the Greek word for "honey bee". Other Wesen have names in multiple languages as noted in "Happily Ever Aftermath" where the name written in the Grimm book is in Spanish while Monroe knows the creature by it's German name.
* [[Birds of a Feather]]: Rosalee and Monroe. Rosalee is a rehabilitated drug addict who's cleaned up her act. Monroe himself is also a rehabilitated blutbadBlutbad. Both seem to have mellow subdued personalities whilst remaining fiercely loyal to their kind. They both even decorate in a warmly antique style.
* [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]: {{spoiler|Lucinda}} in "Happily Ever Aftermath" is also [[The Sociopath]] according to Spencer.
* [[Bizarre Alien Biology]]: Some of the Wesen. "The Thing with Feathers" features a bird-like woman that makes a gold "stone/egg" in her neck that shatters like glass with impact.
Line 65:
** Also the power of a frog eating Ziegvolk can have this effect on people, especially women. So far we haven’t seen anyone do anything violent at a Ziegvolk request, but they where certainly doing things they never would have done otherwise.
* [[Brought Down to Normal]]: {{spoiler|Apparently a Grimm’s blood has the power to do this to Hexenbiest, turning them completely human. Adalind ends up learning this the hard way}}.
* [[Buddy Cop Show]]: Twice over, no less. Hank is Nick's partner on the muggleMuggle side, while Monroe helps with the creature stuff.
* [[Can't Get Away with Nuthin']]: Nick was warned by Adalind in "Beeware" that he needs to protect her or else his reputation will be called into question if Nick allows her to die on his watch.
* [[Cats Are Mean]]: Klaustreich are alley cat-like Wesen with a reputation for being dangerous jerks
Line 215:
* [[Kavorka Man]]: How ''ziegevolk'' appear to the world: unattractive (or at least, not handsome) men with a knack for landing incredibly attractive women.
* [[Kink Meme]]: [http://grimm-kink.dreamwidth.org/ Yeah, the show has one.]
* [[Knight Templar]]: While we don't know how Grimms operate in the modern world, previous generations are possibly implied to have fallen under this category, judging from [[Oh Crap|the reaction]] of many creatures when they realize what Nick is. Monroe's description of what [[Van Helsing Hate Crime|they did]] to his grandfather certainly paints a vivid description of their form of justice. Although we know that grandpa deserved it. As we know that nearly all blutbadenBlutbaden are killers, or at least dangerous. Even Monroe admits to having killed before he became reformed, its very hard to say if it was or wasn't justified. So far all the creatures recorded in the Grimm books that Grimms killed deserved it. So mileage may vary on this.
* [[Lady in Red]]: Blutbaden are provoked by the color red. Which is worrying, since Nick's girlfriend Juliette often wears red.
* [[The Lancer]]: Hank Griffin in law-enforcement matters and Monroe regarding Grimms and the supernatural.
Line 246:
** 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 Hexenbiest
* [[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 blutbadenBlutbaden. 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.
* [[Mugging the Monster]]: Human criminals going after creatures are going to be in a world of hurt. Even the peaceful Monroe is capable of ripping a man's arm off without much effort. In "Bears Will Be Bears", this happens to three different groups of human criminals. Even those species that aren't gifted with physical capabilities or supernatural abilities tend to have quirks that make them hard to deal with. The mouse creature in "Of Mouse and Man" is shown crawling through small spaces far faster and better than a human could.
Line 303:
* [[Secret War]]: See [[Masquerade]] above.
* [[Ship Tease]]: From the moment she showed up, this has been happening between Rosalee and Monroe.
* [[Shout Out]]: In Season 1 Episode 6, a blutbadBlutbad, in other words a werewolf of sorts, by the name of [[Mercy Thompson|Adam Hauptmann]] is mentioned.
** In Episode 11, they meet a friend of Monroe's, a [[Black Widow|spinnetod]], named [[Charlotte's Web|Charlotte]].
** Ariel Eberhart claims she got her dragon tattoo "long before [[The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo|that book]] came out."
Line 344:
* [[Verb This]]: "Tweet this" from Doug the Mellifer.
* [[Visual Pun]]: Nick and Monroe at a dog park.
* [[Wall of Weapons]]: Nick has one in his trailer. Monroe finds it—and the rest of the Grimm 'lair'--to be appropriately cool and scary from his perspective as a blutbadBlutbad.
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Melissa and her minions, killing Hexenbiests because they're evil.
* [[Wham! Episode]]: "Three Coins in a Fuchsbau". {{spoiler|Aunt Marie was once engaged to a Wesen, but had to break it off when her sister (also a Grimm) was killed by another Wesen, who had stolen coins she was protecting--coins responsible for Nero, Caligula, and the Third Reich}}. Also, [[Beethoven Was an Alien Spy|Hitler was a Wesen.]]
