So? Like Phantom said, Ep8's incompetence can be attributed to inexperience instead of being simply stupid. Ditto could go for the Deathstalkers from Breach. Or they were younger and simply more stupid and inexperienced.

And don't even think of saying "but then why do they have as much armor". It's not unlikely that just because Grimm get more armor as they get older, it doesn't mean there may be Grimm species that naturally have more armor or may even be born with it just like there may be some Grimm species that just naturally have less armor in comparison.

And like I said kid, inteligence and strength are completely unrelated. You can be the smartest guy in the world (which you are definitely not) and be as weak as a 1000 years old skeleton. Or be as strong as a nuclear Hulk and be as dumb as a goldfish. So even if they were smart, it doesn't mean they would be simply strong too. Adult Grimm's main strength is experience, the extra armor and such is simply secondary.

Plus, even if they were smart, they wouldn't have stood a chance anyway. Coco's weapon, a fucking minigun, is designed to crush heavy armor, like for example tanks. It's designed to be used specifically against big, tough enemies like the DS. And all the Grimm were comming from the exact same spot because they wouldn't be able to enter Vale otherwise (except the Nevermores that have wings). All Coco had to do was grab the minigun, stare at the hole, and shoot.

Plus given their size and how, being scorpions, they lack enough agility to be evasive, it was literally a one-sided battle between them and Coco. There was nothing they could fucking do, so stop trying to use that as an example of their inteligence. Or what, you think they would notice and react in time that Coco's minigun was designed to crush specifically them, and was doing just that? Retreat wouldn't have been an option either, they were too big and slow to escape in time.
