It's still a stupid idea. The whole point of the Grimm is that while humans on Earth eventually surpassed by our ingenuity all natural predators, the people of Remnant have not. If the Grimm don't significantly resemble animals, they lose that aspect. This is why I rank those illustrations in decreasing order of likeliness, with Maki's quite lower. It doesn't look like an animal, and so defeats the purpose.
