While some Grimm do change over time(Ursa Majors are spikier then Ursa Minors), some don't(the only difference Baby and Giant Nevermores is size); and none of them have the dramatic change that a caterpillar and a butterfly have. Hence why I refer to the change of Grimm as they get older as growth: they grow larger, they grow spikes, they grow wiser.

Sorry if I'm being a bit of an ass about this, but... Let's just say I have an personal and obvious connection to the man who standardized the theory of evolution, and so dislike it when people misuse the word. (I happen to like Pokemon BTW)
