2. No lol, they're grimm, they're worse than mechanical parts because you can't protect it with Aura. Actually, you're quite wrong. Grimm limbs do seem to have enough pros to make them look like a good alternative.

1) They require no maintenance, and being "natural", there's no risk of them no longer working because of damage or Lightning Dust.

2) They can stretch. Short people would love that. A mechanical arm could do the same, but as with any machine, damage or EMPs can make it stop working properly.

3) They cannot be protected with Aura, but they can just regenerate in a matter of seconds. Plus you could just...put some armor in it.

The only real con is having to deal with a dung-roller Grimm causing enough pain and discomfort as to make it hard to speak until/unless you manage to control it.

And maybe some sanity loss, but that might just be Cinder and her evergrowing rageboner.
