Grimm have a verity of abilities depending on the breed. Such as the ability over lighting or fire. Grimm are stated to be attracted to generally negative feelings such as sadness, hostility, anger and fear, and even congregate in areas that, although Humanity has long since abandoned, still hold residual traces of these feelings. Grimm will also join in on an attack on villages if the people begin to panic.

Grimm only attack humans and Faunus on sight though they will fight with animals over territorial disputes.

When Grimm die, their corporeal form evaporates, preventing detailed anatomical or biological studies. Grimm can also not be held captive by normal means as they will either die themselves or kill their captors given first chance.

Culture

While sometimes requiring hundreds of years, the Grimm's accumulated experiences over the course of surviving their battles with man can cause them to begin exercising caution. Another factor is that longer they live the larger they become. This perverse form of self-preservation can even lead them to avoid unnecessary conflicts altogether. Yet, despite this ability to learn, their instinctual hostility still remains, as shown by their preference to patrol the borders of Kingdoms for any weaknesses they might someday exploit.
