It might sound a little harsh, but from a writer's point of view even I feel that 'corrupted animals' is a bit too simple (to deduce and write, just like the monsters in every game who are in truth just fodders for EXP and hardly ever play an important role) and a waste of a potential major plot device.

For example, Henceforward makes use of the Grimm quite well from a writer's point of view, since he/she translates it straight away into an angst inducing device by tying its knots directly with the Faunus. But I personally disliked it because again, it was still too simple and the sentient Grimm are too coherent to my liking, not to mention that the angst feels forced and the major reason I read that manga is to watch Ruby.
