@Maki & Sorairo:

To an extent. What i mean by my Sauron allusion is that the Grim function similar to Sauron's orcs, both in terms of function and relevance to the plot. They exist on their own as destructive and dangerous, but unorganized. Then the central intelligence of the Grim (Sauron) shows up after rebuilding his strength and wrenches the wild Grim under his control. Now under a guiding mind, they are much more coordinated, effective, and ruthless. In battle, however, they still have minds of their own and there is something of a command hierarchy even within the Grim. I think it's the presence of this overlord-type character that turns the Grim from destructive to evil.
