User blog:ChishioKunrin/Grimm are attracted to negativity, huh?

So, in Search and Destroy, we learned that creatures of grimm are attracted to negative feelings, such as "sadness, envy, loneliness, hatred," etc. I've decided to take a look back at previous encounters with creatures of grimm.

Red Trailer
The Red Trailer features Ruby visiting the grave of Summer Rose before heading off through a forest, perhaps on her way back home or something. She is soon faced by an enormous pack of Beowolves.

When visiting the grave of your mother, you're bound to be feeling some negative emotions: sadness, grief, loneliness.

The First Step Pt. 2
Much to her annoyance, Weiss is forced to team up with Ruby. She already got off to a really bad start with Ruby in The Shining Beacon and displayed that she had a great dislike for Ruby from then on. Ruby, showing off her speed, vanishes, and it's Weiss, not Ruby, who ends up surrounded by Beowolves.

Negative emotions: anger, great dislike possibly bordering on hatred.

The Emerald Forest
This sort of counts. Ruby and Weiss have some conflict with each other while trying to fight the pack of Beowolves that surrounded Weiss, who ends up accidentally setting the trees on fire. After fleeing from the fire, the two have an argument, leaving Ruby angry enough to chop down a tree to blow off some steam. A giant Nevermore feather floats to the ground behind them.

Could their anger toward each other be what led them to encounter the Nevermore?

Forever Fall Pt. 2
This episode starts with Team CRDL beating up Jaune after he refused to hurt Pyrrha and threw a jar of sap at Cardin. Cardin becomes even angrier when Jaune's aura blocks one of his punches and hurts his hand. Suddenly, an Ursa Major comes charging out from the forest, looks at Team CRDL, and zeroes in on Cardin, who is paralyzed with fear.

What if it wasn't just the sap on Cardin's armor that drew the Ursa there? If the sap was what attracted it, it could've easily gone after the other students, who had amassed more sap than what was on Cardin's breastplate. The sap could be one reason it zeroed in on him, not what brought it there in the first place.

Negative emotions: anger first, then paralyzing fear.
