Grim are a little different, they are "the embodiment of eninimity" according to Pyrra, and I don't think being soulless is what resulted in that rather I think being the embodiment of natural hostility towards man prevents them from having souls. Moreover we know from Dr. Oobleck that the older Grim can become self aware and even fear for their lives, so it would seem that the souless might be capable of some higher level thinking. Finally it occured to me that the Grim have no aura or semblance but human beings need them to fight the Grim so perhaps Aura isn't the end all be all, but monsters are different I guess, hmmm just not enough info.

for one, it's spelled anonymity.

I should clarify my stance. Anonymity and lack of a soul are inherently tied together within the rules of Remnant, not everything without a soull is a grimm, but if it has no sou it is anonymous.

Grimm, being pure anonymity, lack a soul. they are not the embodiment of hostility towards man, but of all negativity, channeled into hostility.

Any animal, no matter how empty and anonymous, will learn with time, however grimm do not learn fear. they learn patience, caution. the highest thinking they are capable of is putting together learned behaviours with their natural instinct to kill. keep in mind, self awareness and inteligence are two very different things. a dolphin, one of the smartest animals on the planet, is still restricted to its behaviour, as it is not self aware.

Similarly, a grimm, no matter how ancient, will always go back to its natural purpose, to attempt to exterminate mankind. the difference is the inteligent one will bide its time, wait to strike, while the young and stupid one will attack blindly with no thought or planning.

A robot with no soul has both the restriction of anonymity caused by lack of a soul (cannot be differentiated from others of its kind) and the lack of self awareness (cannot make its own choices)
