Also, pretty sure the Nuckelavee Grimm was a lowkey ARMS advertisement. With how central it was to the plot, the nuckelavee was likely designed likely before that game was announced for the nintendo switch.

Speaking of its arms, I know some people didn"t think much of them but there actualy a very good tatical advantage. The Nuckelavee"s skin was tough enough against projectiles making it so close combat was needed for a mortal blow. The long reach of its arms though meant it could keep hunters from moving in close to make such a blow.

I took martial arts classes before I went to college. so i can say from experience if you have a lot more reach than your opponet your can play it safe and keep them at a distance where it's difficult for your oponent to land a hit on you, but you can still land hits on them. While it probably would have been flashier and cooler to see the Nuckelavee utilize its horse half more, it honestly seems more realistic to me that it would play it safe and use its arms to keep its foes at a prefered comfortable distance. Especially if its an elder grim that has learned to fight smarter and not recklessly like the younger grim (that's probably when it charged and bucked often).
