The King Taijitu and the two Ursa attack Ren and Yang respectively with no provocation. Then the Death Stalker, despite Jaune and Pyrrha accidentally walking into its nest, chased them for an unknown distance away from its nest in order to kill them. The Beowolves that surrounded Weiss didn't attack, but they were growling at her with every move she made as if she was about to attack (however a pack of them do attack Ruby in the trailer). Grimm also appear in the Volume 2 opening during the line about enemies gathering.

It could be true that "They may actually may just be defending themselves from hunters or from what seems like a threat," but what do they see as a threat? If an Ursa wants some sap, I'm pretty sure it would attack anything standing in its way. If someone happens to get too close to a King Taijitu, is it their fault if they are killed?
