Never heard of an alpe before as they aren't in any tv reference before, this is the 1st. The jaw opens into 3 petal-shaped, like a flower shaped mouth, Now that's unique. Just looked it up, it's Alp and with the E on the end it's plural instead of the usual of an S. And was a shapeshifter, animorphing into dogs, cats, pigs, snakes and small white butterflies.
3:27 - They are most likely esophageal papillae, similar to that found in sea turtles. Their function I hypophyses is like intestinal villi, increasing the surface area of the mouth, for better absorption of melatonin through the skin of their victims.
If you want similar images look up the paintings "The Nightmare" and "Nachtmahr". The monster looks nothing like it does here because Alp is the German word for Elf.
That does remind me of a terrifying episode of The X-Files about an African spirit that fed on the pituitary glands of its victims. A side effect of the attacks left the victim's bodies and hair completely white after death!
This Wesan looks kinda like a Volitile from the zombie game Dying Light. 2:37 And very fittingly, both Volitiles and Alpen are creatures of the night. Just in different ways. 3:10 to 3:19 and 4:06 to 4:17
Recognized this as sleep paralysis, immediately. I used to get it all the time, as a kid, but didn't know what it was called until I reached early adulthood. Last time it happened, I was twelve, and a scary-lookig hag clamped a clawed hand over my mouth and hissed at me to not scream. 10/10 would not experience again 😰
Sleep paralysis is indeed frightening, but I'd rather be terrified then dead. Fatal familial insomnia, an extremely rare genetic degenerative nerve disease, is a long and torturous way to die. Your mind, and body slowly deteriorate because you literally cannot sleep.
Though it was never done, the creators could have shown a reference book picture or poster of the painting "The Nightmare" by Hernry Fuseli. What would have made a great allusion in this episode would have been if one of the Grimm journal entries described an incident in Switzerland on June 16, 1816. Where a Grimm tracks down an Alpe that was currently feeding on people staying at a famous villa. Particularly on a certain 18 year old woman named Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin. After secretly dispatching the Alp, the Grimm is left wondering how the "nightmare" she suffered would affect her in the future.🤔😏
than I don't have to worry about being a victim, my brain doesn't produce enough melatonin for me to fall asleep, so I actually need liquid based melatonin to fall asleep.
at first I thought that this old man in the corner would be that wesen
you were just hungry for some smoked herring
That’s probably what everyone thought.
And thats why an the end of the episode he woges into a red herring. Hilarious
@@firestorm2000 Honestly, that was one of the greatest moments. As soon as the realization hit me, I couldn't stop laughing lol
Me 2

Specifically white butterflies?
Where can I watch this
What's also fascinating is the Alpe's teeth like perturbances, I believe they are based on the sea turtle's esophageal papillae.
@@tobeywoods2074 I think it's on hulu
Nah more like a starfish
I don’t know what’s more terrifying; how this Wesen feeds on ur sleep, or how this Wesen looks like the Grinch from The Whose Village
feed on your sleep.
Its that you are fucking awake
Who's village ?
Both

I love how Nick and his team careful explained It!
Imagine waking up and seeing that wesen on top of you 🤣🤣

I misread it as melanin and got really confused 🤣
LMAO that makes us two. 😂😂😂
Me too. Lol

2:38 😮😮😮OMG I would never get that image out of my head
Steals*
That's the kind of creatures who aren't necessarily evil but we have no choice but to exterminate. Because they are way too nocives.
I should not have watched this as I lay here having trouble sleeping at 2:42 in the morning.
...Steals? ...Steals your melatonin?
lol I am looking for this kind of comment. hi five. you've made me proud

Still or steal 🧐
Don't know which one is worst: having "nightmare" or not being able to sleep...

This hotel gets only one star for the worst nights sleep I've ever had.
