Blutbaden (BLOOT-baht, BLOOT-bah-den) are wolf-like Wesen with a keen sense of smell and great strength. The Blutbaden are very violent when in packs and are provoked by the color red. Their sense of smell can be weakened by the herb wolfsbane and they are vulnerable to attacks to the lower back. Precise details of their interaction with humans are unknown, but it would appear that most can comfortably interact with human society. Variants include the Wider Blutbad (including Monroe), a reformed Blutbad who abstains from the killing of humans through a regimen of diet, drugs, and exercise. They are the mythological basis for the Big Bad Wolf. Blutbad literally means bloodbath in German and wider is an older German word for against.
