I think Golaiths are the equivalent of alphas for their species. They're described as being centuries old, which might very well be as old as human civilization. In fact, I suspect that they're beyond alphas, since according to my baseless speculation, Beowolves become Alphas after somewhere under 15 years.

Aside from Seers (which might just be controlled personally by Salem, or might be as old as Goliaths), Goliaths also might be the only Grimm which deliberately wait for an opening before even going to human settlements. The Death Stalker in season 1 seemed to have been lurking around a long time, but it came out to attack just because one doofus and Pyrrha came into its cave.
