again with this bullshit I meant as far as exact anatomy, for example, if you make a dog parasite as big as Zwei, we have no guarantee any dog is large enough to host the thing, on the other side if you undersize the Grimm(like sized to our normal Crabs if only the massive ones exist), it would also look stupid.

Ultimately, such a thing as body types matter though because you need an explanation why humans don't carry it when the animal does, Irl such things are because the animal's body is where the parasite is best adapted to living... but Grimm don't have that issue, they can survive anywhere and indeed some kind of pouch or adaptation to prevent them killing you is likely to be the thing that kills them.

The only other reason for it to happen that animals carry them is self defense, so the grimm gets to kill things in a symbiotic relationship... but again Grimm don't do symbiosis because they want for nothing.
