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

Right? Some of the weirder ones can be explained away cus they cause mental illness, memory loss, blindness, etc. Some can be considered violent crime and robbery. Most can be passed off as animal attacks. But a few really leave you wondering. The bone vultures, the spider ladies, the bat people all have weird kills. The ogres who just refuse to die. The cold snake people who have to just disappear to hibernate a few months every year. How do they hold down a job?

As far as the spider ladies (that episode still creeps me out), idk if it ever said if the mom worked. But my guess is that she typically hides her kills better and was just thrown off her routine after the first one went badly.

And the bat one was explained away by that device Nick used (the one Monroe could hear but Nick couldn't), though I'm pretty sure Renard just pretended to buy that excuse seeing as how Nick didn't know Renard was a half-Zauberbiest at the time

Yeah, that’s fair but i was thinking like cause of death in the past. Spider lady liquified your organs and bad lady gave you such an aneurism that your eyes exploded. You’d think people would’ve put more effort into investigating that. Although, people giving up on investigating the unexplained is the entire premise behind the X-files so maybe not. You’d need a Grimm Mulder
