Skalengecken

 refers to a race of supernatural creatures featured on the NBC television series Grimm. They are a subspecies of Wesen. Skalengecks have reptilian features in their natural form, including a snake-life mouth, a flat nose and ridged brow.

The first Skalengeck featured in the show was a character named Cecil. Cecil was arrested for some unclarified crime and brought to the Portland Police Bureau. Homicide detective Nick Burkhardt - having only recently awakened to the preternatural instincts of being a Grimm saw Cecil in his true form.

Another Skalengeck was a gangbanger girl who accosted Theresa Rubel in a wooded park area near a store. Rubel pulled out a switchblade to defend herself, but the Skalengeck simply laughed. The two fought and Rubel proved to be more than up to the challenge. After trading several blows, she got the jump on the Skalengeck and stabbed it multiple times in the body until it fell over dead.
