Hello! Hope you enjoy this chapter and thanks for reading this far into this! I really apreciate it!
Grimm
The Grimm are the bane of humanity, always trying to hunt us down to extinction. They have been on Remnant as old as humans have been on Remnant. They have no purpose other than the sole purpose of the extinction of humanity. There are many kinds that are being discovered every day and so the variety never ends. They are also drawn by the negative emotions of humans and Faunus alike, with stronger emotions more likely to attract the Grimm. They are the sole reason for why Remnant is so focused on survival and how they haven't reached the population numbers as Earth has.
The consequences of unleashing Grimm in a populated city would prove disastrous for Earth by how the negative emotions from the panic would only allow more Grimm to come. Without the Huntsmen that Remnant has to repel these forces, gathering forces large enough to take back the city would take too long and large amounts of lives would be lost. This would cause panic on Earth and may even lead to a scapegoat.
The story "The Pen and The Sword", It looks into this possibility with how they believe that Remnant had sent the Grimm as a declaration of war, threatening the kingdoms with nuclear weapons. While I find that story to be an interesting approach, I feel that Earth would be cautious afterward and would scout to see what threats would be ahead before they plan a full-scale invasion. (See Invasion for countermeasures against Terran forces.)
I believe that Grimm, lacking Aura due to not having souls, do still have a basic skeleton in them by how throughout the seasons we see bones on the Grimm and even have been shown to be affected by wounds inflicted by people. It is with this belief that I can predict that rifles or shotguns have the capabilities to kill weaker Grimm while heavier artillery like tanks or missiles for the larger, more deadly types.
The story "Remnants of Another World" shows us creative ideas for different Grimm types that have not been shown in the series and so can be helpful in identifying the type of Grimm if unrecognized. The older the Grimm is, the wiser it becomes and therefore can be more effective in killing.
Types
Beowulf- Very Low threat- a basic Grimm that takes a form of a wolf. They usually form groups that can be a bigger threat when together. There may be the danger of an alpha Beowulf that's harder to kill than a regular Beowulf. Can be killed by most weaponry and should be focused on splitting or thinning the herd so that they are less of a threat.
Boarbatusk- Low Threat- A Grimm that takes a form of a boar. Can basically perform a sonic and spin itself into a ball at high speeds. Can be defeated by getting the soft underbelly underneath
Lancer-Low Threat- Grimm that are like wasps or hornets. They usually have hives that follow a queen, who is a Medium Threat. They are easy to take out with bullets but have the ability to destroy airships by ripping them in half.
Nevermore-Low to Medium Threat. They resemble a raven. They vary in size but can throw their feathers like knives that can most likely kill a man if hit directly. They can be taken out with anti-air weapons.
Creep- Average Threat. They are more of the violent aggressive types of Grimm that try to get close up to bite and maul you. Try to use long-range weaponry to take these Grimm out.
Griffon- Average Threat. They are based on the mythological creatures with the same name. More competent than the Nevermores when it comes to flying by how they are more aggressive and are better in aerial movement.
Ursa- Average threat- A bear-like Grimm that's able to take a lot in terms of hits. Imagine these Grimm like a bigger Beowulf that's slower. Use heavier weapons against these Grimm
Geist- Medium threat. A ghost type of Grimm that's able to possess inanimate objects to use for battle. Depending on what it takes the form of it can be extremely dangerous. Take out any limbs and kill the Geist when it's out of a body.
King Taijitu- Medium threat. They are a two-headed snake Grimm that moves pretty fast despite its size. Try to take out the heads by how they die without them and tend to be weaker with only one head.
Beringal- High threat. A gorilla Grimm that's extremely strong and has the capabilities to jump up to buildings at least a story high. Use tanks and try to keep your distance as it is too dangerous to fight alone.
Sea Feilong- High threat. A Grimm that's a sea dragon. It can swim, shoot beams from its mouth and fly when needed. Clip the wings and try to take it out in the water. Use Lightning Dust.
Death Stalker- High Threat. A scorpion Grimm that's both fast and powerful with the stinger it uses. The Grimm is also clumsy due to the weight it has and the stinger can be cut off. Has strong armor to protect itself.
Nuckelavee- High Threat. There has only been one sighting of this type of Grimm and for good reason. They are hard to kill with taking out numerous villages in Mistral. Can use a piercing shriek and extremely long arms to hit Huntsmen and are efficient in killing.
Goliath- Extremely Dangerous Threat. They are some of the oldest Grimm that are able to wait for the best chance to attack humanity. They require the use of missiles and the heaviest weaponry to take out ONE. Do not engage unless you have an army.
Dragon- Extremely Dangerous Threat. This is a Grimm that is able to spawn other Grimm for its aid. There has been no report of a victory against this Grimm and the closest to beating this Grimm is by freezing it in place. It can also attract nearby Grimm as a beacon. You need nothing less than an army to take this Grimm down by sheer force alone.
This section has given me the thought of purchasing a gun or two against any Grimm. I don't know if they can come to Earth or even if this could be possible in real life, but I need to be sure. I will not use the guns against people and I'll get training of course. I refuse to be in the news for infamous reasons.
guest: I would understand the fear people would have for Huntsmen and I believe that governments would enact a law similar to the one in Captain America: Civil War. I would also expect discrimination because humanity does a pretty good job on that.
Mr. Sandman: I'm surprised that you noticed that! I was wondering if I wanted to keep those little "diary entries" as I like to call them to be in this. I eventually decided to leave them in because I feel that people would be interested in that and so can get more out of their buck when they look in this thing.
Thanks for reviewing! See you next time.
