Drossel

Drossel Tears, also known as Drossels, are plant-type Grimm that resemble sundews.

Appearance
Drossel Tears have many large black appendages with several thin red tubes sprouting from them. Bone-like platelets cover the underside of the appendages. The appendages can vary in shape from thick and broad to thin and tentacle-like. It is not unusual for a Drossel Tears to have a combination of appendage shapes. At the ends of the red tubes they secrete a sweet smelling and sticky golden mucus, which collects in drops on the ends of the tubes. These orbs of mucus are where Drossel Tears received their name.

Drossel Tears have very short legs that resemble roots. Drossel Tears have at least three legs. The number of legs is not relative to their size; a Drossel the size of a house can have as few as three or four legs, and a Drossel the size of a dog can have as many as seven or more.

Powers and Abilities
The main weapon of Drossel Tears is their mucus. Many people call the golden orbs "acid" or "sap" because they are incredibly sticky and have corrosive properties. Anything caught in the mucus will be broken down in a matter of hours. Escape without assistance is nearly impossible. Freezing the mucus is the most efficient method of nulling its effects. Drossel Tears swing their appendages around to attempt to trap people in the mucus. They can pull away from objects they accidentally sick to, but the residual mucus will maintain its sticky and corrosive properties for up to several weeks until nature erodes it.

Despite the the short length of their legs, Drossels can move rather quickly and also jump. Sometimes, to move even faster, a Drossel Tears will tightly curl up all its arms until it becomes a giant armored ball. This form is also used for defense and for ramming enemies.
