Grimm are very hard to study, as any kept in captivity die quickly with their entire bodies dissolving completely. I'm pretty sure the Kingdoms have studied Grimm from a distance, but you can only learn so much from that.

Semblances are "semi-heredity" meaning the Semblance of a person may be similar to the Semblance of their parent. 1-I see...but also makes me think. What if humans didn't start that war, but rather someone manipulated things so it seemed like that, and caused the war. Or maybe it's just what the Faunus, that won the war, say to answer how it started, possibly leaving out info. History Is Written By The Winners, after all.

2-They fade when they die, and die quickly in captivity, yet Port kept a Boarbatusk in a cage for some time and it was all fine and dandy, if also hungry. Maybe you just have to take care of them, give them some meat to eat from time to time. Scratch their bellies and pet their heads. Maybe they die for doing things the bad way. Maybe by doing things more nicely they survive for longer.

3-Now that gets me thinking. So it could be identical, or similar to a parent's semblance. What if both parents have semblances? Would the child:

a) Have a mix of their semblances?

b) Only heredate one of the parent's semblances?

c) A whole new semblance?
