Monty's "maybe we've already seen them" was definitely meant as speculation fuel, but not to just troll us. That hasn't been the precedent set by Monty or RT as a whole. The reason he added the "maybe" is likely to make fans doubt their speculation. This leads to a rift wherein half of the audience is wrong to assume we haven't seen one.

Meanwhile, the other half has to figure out who the half-Faunus is (because, let's face it, the whole hybrid deal is a pretty massive topic for any forum so it's unlikely we've seen more than just the one). It was long suspected that the hybrid would be one of Team RWBY. Blake is already a Faunus so she is discounted. Weiss was considered purely for irony's sake. Ruby because of the wolf in LLR. And Yang, well, probably because she's had so little character development. With the appearance of Raven Branwen and her apparent ties to the White Fang, the theory that she is half-Faunus becomes that much closer to being more of an unstated if overt fact.
