Mmm.....reading most of the comments here, I had some ideas following the ones commented here.

1) "Smart Grimm": I was thinking of some human-like Grimm, I call them "Homo Habilis". Like an adult human in shape (though traitless), hardly any armor besides the mask and some claws instead of fingers. Still not articulate like Salem, with their movements resembling more erratic chimps than actual humans.

Strength-wise, they would be rather weak by Grimm standards, but to compensate they would know how to create and use basic tools, like the prehistoric humans did, possibly including the construction of simple traps by the older ones, plus a pack mentality, attacking in groups and cooperating.

Basically, monsters that fight like people while remaining monsters.

2) "Wendigo": I had an idea that combines aspects of the Yeti (which is literally just a snow Bigfoot/Sasquatch) and the Wendigo (the legendary version of Bigfoot) in a manner similar to Shin Megami Tensei.

Basically, it's like a more-humanoid ape, 2+ meters in height, strong and fast, but not agile, with a thick fur allowing it to remain fast in snow. The Wendigo would be astonishingly quiet despite it's size, rarely even roaring or anything. It's body is almost-entirely white, with a black mask that somewhat resembles a human skull, providing easy camouflage in snowy landscapes like Alsius.

Granted, the whole "Primarily white body" design is inspired by the White Beowulf that Never Was, but an alternate idea drops the Yeti aspect for a more Bigfoot look (black body, white mask, no "Snow Bonus").
