-Grimm Title: Churchgrimm

-Inspiration: Church Grim

-Environment: The churchgrimm appears in graveyards at night, preying upon those unfortunate enough to mourn the dead past dusk.

-Appearance: Similar in appearance to the more common Hellhound, the Churchgrimm appears to be that of a black shaggy dog with matted fur and glowing eyes. The difference between them is that the Churchgrimm appears to be more angular in build. Its most noticable feature is that upon close inspection, it seems to be eternally dissipating.

-Armoring(s): The churchgrimm lacks significant armor plating until it fully matures, upon which it will gain bony faceplating, as well as large protruding ribs and jaws.

-Aesthetics: The churchgrimm has matted fur that unlike Beowulves, and lacks any significant patterning on its facial plating.

-Behavior: Churchgrimm tend to apart from others of their kind due to their rare nature. They do, however, commonly get along with other otherworldly-appearing Grimm that reside in graveyards.

-Attack(s): The churchgrimm is more cunning than your average Beowulf or Hellhound. While the Hellhound is dangerous to fight because of its mass environmental destruction, the Churchgrimm is likely to use small flames to distract and entrance those that it deems too weak to fight back, such as that of the common graverobber or vandal. It uses this fear to attract more Grimm and set up for an attack on nearby civilizations. It lacks any other attacks besides biting.

-Powers: The churchgrimm can emit small amounts of flames from their mouth. This is rarely recorded, as the churchgrimm tends to target those without auras. It also can appear to blend into shadows due to its etherial form.

-Strengths: The churchgrimm is very cunning and can easily set up for a Grimm invasion as it attracts more and more Grimm to the surrounding area.

-Weakness(es): It has no means of attack outside of igniting nearby objects or biting. Its ability to create an atmosphere of fear can easily be stopped by the abilities of competent huntsmen, who bring an air of hope to... grimm situations.

-Additional Notes: The churchgrimm is not looked at as harshly as other Grimm, as it tends to target graverobbers, drug dealers, or vandals. Its lack of effective attacks makes it so that it has to rely on other Grimm to finish the job.
