What if Grim was a disembodied intelligence that controlled all of those creatures and is manipulating Crimson and Roman, making them think that they will receive some great power.

And yes, Steve Blum would make an excellent voice for this villain. I can already hear it in my head.

The Grim being nothing more than empty shells under a mad villans control? That would make me feel better about them being beaten by the good guys. (I'm a animal lover.) Well, to call the Grim "animals" would imply that they're the only non-human creature in the world of RWBY and I just don't think that's true.

IMO, the Grim aren't even "animals" in the true sense of the world. No, I agree with Gamech4ng3r, that the Grim are all different extensions of a single entity, or "hive mind". As Humans are composed of "Dust", This hive mind would be composed of "Ash", while all the Grim creatures are composed of "Smoke".
