24.95: Not necessarily. It's been fairly well-accepted, if unofficially, in the Spec House at least, that we're reserving the term Grimm for the putative source of its Creatures, whatever the nature of said source is, if it exists. It's also a simple matter of grammar: If we were discussing the Lions of Foo, then we would refer to the Lions, rather than Foo, and if there were normal lions, then we'd have to distinguish the LoF from the normal ones.

XDex: Pretty much my point. The CoG don't want to destroy us. They don't "want" anything. They simply do. And what they do is destroy/eat/absorb/extinguish/etc souls.

Bismarkus: I don't see the smoke as necessarily corrupting animals, or if so, only in the most rare of circumstances, but other than that, pretty much the way I view it.
