-Grimm Title: Feathertop

-Inspiration: Scarecrows

-Environment: Almost all rural regions except for Vacuo and Atlas

-Appearance: Lanky, thin, humanoid grimm with a pumpkin shaped head. It has three taloned fingers on each hand, and its legs end in sharp nubs instead of feet. The rest of its body is stick-thin.

-Armoring(s): Head, chest, shoulders.

-Aesthetics: A jack o lantern like face is on the mask, the mouth curled up in a perpetual grin. The skin of a Feathertop feels similar to wood. The armor on its chest is ribcage-like, adding on to its skeletal appearance.

-Behavior: Feathertops often move in packs of 6 to 17 individuals. Feathertops are exceptionally intelligent grimm, when hunting near farmlands, they often destroy scarecrows watching over fields and steal their clothing to disguise themselves. They are extremely good at mimicking the scarecrows they destroy due to their thin bodies and incredible patience. They often only attack farmers who come to close to figuring out their true nature, but more often then not they attack villages when their occupants guards are down. Feathertops also have an interesting relationship with smaller nevermores, as feathertops can let out an ear-piercing screech that attracts smaller nevermores. This has lead scientists studying feathertops to conclude feathertops have a symbiotic relationship with the avian grimm. The feathertop disclosures the location of a human, and the nevermores assist in the feathertops killings.

-Attack(s): Due to their intellect and choice of hunting grounds, feathertops occasionally use sharp farm tools such as sickles, hoes, and rakes as weapons. But a feathertop’s strongest weapon is its flame spewing capabilities. Feathertops seem to have an internal system that produces an extremely flammable gas that is released from the mouth that a feathertop can ignite at will via an internal heating system.

-Powers: In addition to their nevermore summoning screech and fire breath, feathertops are extremely durable grimm, easily shrugging of most weaponry and are completely immune to fire.

-Strengths: Itellect, surprise attacks, fire breath, fire resistance, paitence, and durability.

-Weakness(es): Despite all their strengths, feathertops suffer from one crippling weakness, their speed. Feathertops rarely move faster than an average person moving at a brisk pace, even when chasing a victim. Particularly agile huntsmen and huntresses can easily outmaneuver feathertops in combat, but these grimm are still a force to be reckoned with.

-Additional Notes: The feathertops get their name from Nathaniel Hawthorne’s eponymous short story about a living scarecrow.
