The attraction to negativity and the general motive to screw with humanity leads me to think that Grimm may be the product of human's negativity or perhaps a manifestation of dead aura/souls? Given RWBY's emphasis on aura and (simple) souls, I think this seems plausible." I aggree

In the thread for World of Remnent Dust, I mentioned that the narator's statement about how mankind doesn't fully understand how dust works or how it will change the world, I postulated that the Grim may be the products of dust (or perhaps a particular variant) reacting to the  subconscious aura of Humanity  and creates the Grim from our Id(a part of our subconsious), and our darkest emotions, thoughts, and primal desires.

I believe that if the Grim aren't weapons that were forged by a long forgotton civilization, then they are the manifestation of mankind's fear, hatread, and sorrow.

-Defcon Deceiver If the Grimm are indeed mankind's manifestation of fear, hatred and sorrow, does this mean that the same can be applied on the opposite end too?

Can there be manifestations of hope, love and happiness?

Grimm are the eternal darkness present over humanity, Humans are the twilight of the world, able to be both good and evil. Then the third species, which are the light of the world.
