The Creatures of Grimm are soulless monsters plaguing Remnant. There are many types of Grimm including various types of mammals, reptiles, birds, etc which have their own appearance and abilities. Some defy explanation, manifesting as the things of nightmares, but all share the common goal of destroying mankind and its creations. Being soulless creatures, they are attracted to negative emotions such as anger, sorrow, envy and fear. They also do not need to feed to sustain life, but some prey on people due to the urge to destroy. Once slain, the corpse of a Grimm will only remain for a short period before disintegrating.
