1) I'm 500% sure that you have it backwards there. Grimm surely do obey gravity, at least the ones that aren't freaking ghosts, or chinese. But wind resistance, doubtful. Friction not so much, the Grimm don't move like they're ice skating all the time.

2) Let's say I agree with you about the Sphinx being an older Manticore. Let's say I believe you about the form changing to be better suited for air, at the apparent expense of defense. But then, I have two questions:

A: How can that mane, which is huge and each individual spike is literally 1/3+ longer than the head, become "less recognizable spikes" that are apparently the size of raw obsidian, so small you can't even notice them?

I know I'm preaching about how Grimm don't care about what humans think it's impossible, but that really seems impossible.

B: Manticores have a scorpion tail. How can a scorpion tail with stinger, turn into a freaking snake?
