Except they only make normal people afraid that way. People with no combat experience or knowledge of how to use Aura.

Actual combatants, like basically every Huntsman, either aren't afraid of them at all, or shove aside the fear to deal with the Grimm, even the big and mighty ones like the Wyvern and the Leviathan. Looking fearsome has consistently failed to have much of a notable effect on the very people trained to fight them.

But, Salem has been shown improving Grimm. And the Apathy are able to manipulate emotions (even negative ones that attract Grimm) and null them.

Overall it makes perfect and logical sense for Salem to make a Grimm that isn't merely intimidating, but can even make the fearless afraid by manipulating their emotions like the Apathy does, making them easier prey for more Grimm.

Or do you think the Apathy's appearance and behaviour is supposed to make people, even normal civs, stop being afraid?
