If that's the case then consider this; how would you say they reproduce? They certainly don't look all that natural (unless that's what the RWBYverse CALLS natural). Now that I think about it, they kinda remind me of the Heartless in design.

Oh God...

what if they... suck out human souls for nourishment and then use the empty carcass to turn into another Grim?

...Where do I get these ideas? They eat dust and regurgitate it into baby Grims. Unless they're egg-laying Grims, in which case they eat both people and dust, digest the bones and flesh, reshape it all, and lay eggs somewhere secret so the baby Grims can hatch in relative safety. But the Grim existed long before Dust was created. I thought dust was discovered, not created. They created Dust and... hmm that doesn't make sense much, they said they created Dust but Weiss Schnee stated Dust was mined from the Schnee Quarry. Maybe the refinded crystal form was Man's creation and it allowd them to utilize it (otherwise being useless)

I think it's the opposite way. The crystal form seems like something that would be mined, as it's much more stable than the powdered dust, but is also weaker than the powdered dust, leading to people experimenting with different ways to increase the power of the then-mysterious crystals, and thus the powdered dust was born.

Also, I don't remember anyone saying they created dust. Where'd you hear that?
