@ Spirit Dreaming: If they're attracted to what the dark god part into humanity, then why? Wasn't the dark god into destroying the light god's creations. They should be attracted to positive emotions because they want to snuff them out. If the Grimm successful wipe out all of humanity and faunus, then what? Wander the world saying "hey" to each other? Evil never thinks this shit thru. Total destruction is meaningless. If everything is gone, then what? You have a barren void. Okay. Now what? Is that all they want? Nothingless. Oblivion. Salem must me some sort of Nihilistic madwoman. I think Spirited meant that they're attracted to the darkness in mankind because they're like "Hey, it's like us" but then they see that the Humans are also a product of the God of Light and go "Grrr, Light!" The God of Darkness created the Grimm to be like him, so I guess it makes sense for them to want to go toward something that feels like him.

As for why they want to destroy everything, it's instinct. They have an overpowering instinct driving them to destroy because that's exactly what the God of Darkness programmed them to do.

For Ren's Semblance in battle... well... If it does dull negative emotions, it could help him and others keep a calm head in battle. One of the worst things you can do during a fight is let your fear or anger control you because that's when you make stupid mistakes.
