Grimm consists of Darkness - material with special properties. When Grimm die, Darkness goes into a gaseous form. This gas can be absorbed by other Grimm (this is how old Grimm gaining weight) or condense into a liquid, which generates new Grimm. After earning enough mass Grimm can independently convert it into a liquid. That is why the Silver Eyes "freeze" them - this reduces the overall threat Grimm on a much more long term than a die. Dragon was frozen SEW in the past, then the Maidens built up around the stone mass. They ensure the survival of humanity until the advanced technology and Academies. They can not eliminate the threat of Grimm in the long term because of the small numbers, but in the short term any wave Grimm, regardless of size, will be stopped their AoE. Kingdoms were based around Maidens. Over time, the intelligence of the Grimm realized that brute force is useless and temporarily left humanity in relative peace, developing strategy. Without regular demonstrations threat of complete destruction, Maidens began to become victims of people seeking power and SEW stopped actively proliferate and exercise, gradually turning from an elite caste in the ordinary people. However, humanity has received a respite, even fighting among themselves, became gradually develop replace them - technology and Hunters. Intelligence of the Grimm, seeing the threat, has developed a strategy of infiltration - human servants recruitment, which will help to strengthen the internal contradictions of humanity, kill SEW, absorb Maidens power by using a new type Grimm, and destroy newfound benefits.
