I've thought of another one. It's a bit funny but I think it could be threatening in the cold where, in the Atlas WoR, most Grimm don't thrive well. Plus I like unusual creatures as Grimm.

-Grimm Title: Emperor

-Threat Level: B-A

-Animal Basis: Emperor penguins, seals

-Environment: Tundras and arctic oceans

-Appearance: They look similar to penguins but they have sharp teeth near the back of their beak. Emperors also have claws on their flippers and fins on their back.

-Armouring(s): Armor covers their head, beak, flippers and their feet.

-Average size seen: 3 to 4 feet

-Variants: Lone Emperor (much larger variants of regular Emperors that reach up to 12 feet tall standing. Usually travel alone and have a far more powerful call.)

-Behaviour: Emperors roam the icy tundras and swim through the cold oceans, having a unique immunity to freezing temperatures. They call out in ghostly wails in groups of 10-15, calling more of them to their group or even other Grimm. If an Emperor gets too big, they become a Lone Emperor and stray from the group on their own.

-Attack(s): Their main method of attack is to swim or slide towards their target on their belly, with their sharp piercing beak out. They can also maul at close range with their clawed flippers.

-Strength: Emperors, while they don't seem very threatening, are actually deadly in their arctic environment. They are expert swimmers and, on the ice and snow, they can quickly slide on their belly while their powerful legs propel them. Their beaks are sharp, allowing them to pierce through armor and chip away at aura. Their beaks even allow them to drill through ice, stone and, with time, metal. Emperors are also fairly durable even without having armor. They have a strange slick skin that reduces drag in water, slide easier on land and allows them to take plenty of hits before going down. Lastly, Emperors are very adept to freezing temperatures, allowing them to be thriving around Atlas, even being resistant to ice dust attacks.

-Weakness(es): Emperors may be adept to their environment but outside of it, they are not that strong. To a bigger number of huntsmen, they are more of a nuisance rather than a threat unless it's a Lone Emperor. Emperors aren't that fast or agile on their feet, only being so on their belly or in the water. They can also be heard from far away allowing for preparation.
