- "You have to hunt down the bad ones, just like your ancestors did. There's a reason that you're a cop. You have an ability, and you must use it."

A monster hunter is someone who hunts monsters. Some may specialize in a certain type of monster, such as vampires or demons, but by and large, this is a vocation that takes up most of their time, leaving little room for other such necessities such as... gainful employment. Admittedly, monster-hunting does not pay very well.
Monster hunters played a major role on the NBC television series Grimm. Such people were selected through heritage to serve as a Grimm, and as such, were afforded certain abilities. They are normal human beings in every regard save for their awakened inborn ability to perceive supernatural creatures in their true forms. These creatures, known collectively as Wesen, are made up of many different subspecies, whose origins hail back to the stories told in old fairytales.
Grimms are hunters of the Wesen. Their greatest strengths are their alertness and perception, but they also possess heightened physical aptitudes that give them an edge in times of combat. Grimms are the deadliest and most feared enemy of the Wesen. Historically, they have been known to be exceedingly aggressive and have indiscriminately killed Wesen with extreme prejudice for several centuries. The lore of the Grimms can be found in a series of ancient codified texts. Some Wesen have taken up positions specifically designed to combat Grimms. Armed with a scythe, the Reaper of Grimms have fought against their human adversaries with mixed results for as long as the Grimms have been around.
