@anon: It's 100% like a Nuckelavee, and has no similarity in any way to any of the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse that would say "This guy references them!" with certainty. Being a "Grimm horseman" is too little, and in that aspect it's 100% a Nuckelavee.

It even shares the physiology; look at the oversised arm that even drags on the ground, or how the front feet don't have hooves, or how the humanoid torso is fused with the horse body instead of being a separate entity. That's something the Nuckelavee has, not something any of the 4 horsemen have.

Since you mention RT making "multiple references", you'll have to give me a source of them saying that they make multiple references with the Grimm.

You also mention how they "change things around". For starters, that is completely irrelevant in this case, and most importantly, when they change things, it's 1) Done ahead of time; very very very rarely done at the last minute (Neo), and 2) It's not "who X references", it's things such as plot elements, like the Maidens.

Basically, the idea of it being based or references the 4 Riders, is like this:

Imagine you were shown a picture with an animal. The animal looks exactly like a dog, the paws, the legs, the face, the tail, everything. Everything you see, screams "Dog", and nothing else.

So why assume it's also a Cat? Why assume it's not a Dog?
