Have an idea or two for a couple of Grimm.  Animal Basis: The Martian Tripod from War of The Worlds

 Grimm Title: Tres Oculos (Latin for "Three Eyes")

 Threat Level: A lone one is usually medium. A group of three or can quickly rise it up to High.

 Appearance: The Tres Oculos walk on three, thin, spider-like legs. Each one ends in a large spike, with smaller ones circling just above it. The main body vaguely resembles that of a crustacean, with three eyes resting at the front. The eyes in turn form an upside-down triangle formation. Numerous appendages dangle from the top of the shell, ending in pincers.

 Average size seen: They typically stand at about the same size of a Goliath.

 Attack: Swiping and inpaling with its legs, slicing and dicing with its claws.

 Behaviour: They prefer environments containing water, such as swamps or the coastline. They've been known for hiding in the water, rising only to strike their prey.

 Armourings: Their torso is coated in bone-plating, save for the underbelly. The legs have some armor on them as well.

 Strength: The Tres Ocolos are able to transverse a number of terrians, from rocky coasts to swamplands.

 Weaknesses: As mentioned before, the underbelly is unarmored. As such, it's vulnerable to sneak attacks. And though its shell is strong, it's still possible to break through it with some heavy artillery.

 Variants: A larger variant, called the "Quinque Oculos", exists. It possesses five eyes instead of three, forming an upside-down star.

 Additional Notes: During the Great War, pairs of Ocolos would occasionally attack piers and any settlements near them. One old Valean tale claims that the city's docks were once attacked by a Quinque, and it took the major of its national guard to bring the beast down. In the present day, no Oculos has dared to cross into the city's bay. However, there have been increasing numbers of them in the Mistralic swamps. There has also been talk of a pack of them living just outside the borders of Mantle, as if waiting for something.
