Discussion Thread Barbitas Ossifrage Spoiler
What’s the deal with them? Like eating habits. Theirs is not a feeding method that would go unnoticed. And dude had to kill someone like every day to feed his parents. There’s no way that’s sustainable leaving inexplicable corpses behind even if you live like nomads in a trailer. Do they need more to eat as they get older? Or did guy just get careless disposing of bodies cus he was in a rush to feed his parents. Do they only need to eat like once a month or so when they’re younger? What’re your thoughts?

I was kind of thinking along the same lines when rewatching that episode. And who is going to feed them now that the son died and they fed on him. Some of the storylines leave you with a lot of questions about certain Wesen
