A Varme Tyv (Nor. VAHR-muh TEEV; Nor. "heat" + "thief") is a snake-like Wesen that was seen in "Hibernaculum".
Characteristics
When woged, a Varme Tyv resembles a Lausenschlange, albeit with a more muscular and solid physique with broader cheeks. They have scales and ice-white eyes. They also have sharp fangs that they use to suck the body heat out of humans, leaving them in a state of severe frostbite. Varme Tyv are cold-blooded and therefore, not able to generate their own body heat. Without of which, they would be gradually incapacitated by the cold and inevitably freeze to death. Naturally, they are put at risk during winter, as ambient external heat is very minimal, forcing their physiology to follow suit, displaying obvious signs the worst they get, like a growing bluish discoloration of the body and the formation of ice flakes on their person even while in human form. They can only process human body heat, so they either require sucking the heat out of humans or they need to join others of their own kind in a hibernaculum to hibernate, where, after consuming an immense amount of food prior, they find some secluded place where, while scantily-clad, they cluster themselves together to consolidate what little internal body heat they have in order to survive the winter season. Other sources of heat have no effect on them. When approaching a hibernaculum, one can almost always detect the presence of the Varme Tyv because of the rising heat coming off from their torpid bodies in proximity.
Behavior
Varme Tyv are normally harmless creatures, but if they are not able to join a hibernaculum, they will steal the heat of others, killing them in doing so. They are said to be the most lethal in winter, as their desperation to survive often leads to them victimizing others. Given that a number of them can be found in a hibernaculum, it is fair to assume that they are very social towards their own. It is unwise to wake them during their hibernation period, as they will be prone to react with open hostility and be willing to attack anybody who wakes them. Like many Wesen, they fear Grimms.
