The dictionary definition of a monster is an imaganary creature that is typicly large, ugly, and frigtening. So yeah the Grim are, without a doubt, monsters. The people of remnant fear the grim because the grim are predators, and they are the Grim's prey. Exactly. They are monsters. Monsters whose very nature, essence, and reason for existing, is to destroy and kill. Do note that they have no reason for doing this. They don't need to eat nor drink, so they have no reason to kill other creatures. Even then, they aim specifically at humans and faunus, they only attack animals if those animals attack them.

They can live for a long time if not forever, and can perfectly survive outside and away from human territory, so they have no reason to try so actively to destroy mankind. Yet they do so anyway. They kill and destroy mankind simply for the heck of it.

They're not like a force of nature like tornadoes and earthquakes, which "just happen". They are constantly, willingly trying to destroy and kill mankind without any reason to do so. Like a serial killer that kills people just for the sake of killing, not even just for fun. Thus, they are Evil. An animal only kills when it's forced to, due to hunger or for survival. The Grimm are not forced to do what they do, yet they do so anyway.
