I agree that the table on the Grimm page saying "Geist arms" is wrong. It's in the "Features" column, by the way, which is meant to list what features this type of Grimm has, but even still, we shouldn't say they're "Geist" arms (even though, like I said, it's literally the same MODEL as the Geist's arms). Having the Shadow Hand page's trivia say that it uses the same model is fine, but saying that one of the Shadow Hand's features is Geist arms is incorrect, as we don't know if it is actually a Geist arm that it possesses, despite being the same model. I've changed it to say "Clawed arms".

As for the Sphinx-Manticore issue,

1. The wiki does not say that the Sphinx is not an elder Manticore. We're trying to keep the articles neutral on whether it is or is not an elder Manticore. We gave it its own separate page because CRWBY literally gave it its own separate name.

2. The Shadow Hands use the same exact model as the Geist's arms, so it's understandable that anyone would think that they're Geist arms. Meanwhile, the Manticore would have to undergo various changes, including losing entire toes, to become a Sphinx, so it's too speculative to say that a Sphinx is a Manticore. Even then, we literally never set out to have the articles say that they're not Manticores.
