I believe that 'mindless and soulless' does not necessarily impy non-intelligent. Soul and mind can also refer to conscience and ethics. (When we say "I don't mind..."  we don't refer to intelligence.)

So far I also don't see a hive intelligence in ALL Grim - we've seen packs of Beowolves, in basically a pack hunting behaviour, Beobears and Beosnakes fighting in pairs or small groups. But we haven't seen a mixture of creatures acting together. I rather think that Grim creatures developped from animals being in some form corrupted, and thus gained some intelligence, but keeping their basic animal instincts and fighting styles. Whatever the source of the corruption, it may well have affected different creatures to a varying effect.

The show DOES speak of evolution, bloody evolution even, and that evolution probably isn't limited to humans - maybe less so even...
