Like, a Grimm that specializes in backstab kills is far more scary than the big pile of rock that is the Geist's golem form.

Seriously, imagine an entire episode where RJNR is stalked by a monster version of Tyrian and they can't even see it.

The emotional stress is enough to attract Grimm in the area and the fodders that were easy to kill are now a problem because if they let their backs be exposed for a while. Boom.

That's what I mean. Remeber in Naruto's beginning, when Zabuza was making mist all over the battlefield and no one could see where he was coming from. I want Grimm to be smart and fast and tactical. The Grimm need to stop attacking in swarms and instead move like ninja and stalk people until just before a kid is alone away from their parent or teacher and then they slaughter them and move only before detection. I want the Grimm to be like the Cleric Beast in Bloodborne, only the size of a man.

@ Kirito Rose: I just think Grimm seem like fodder right now. And that needs to change. Just like people saw the Faunus issue as trite without much on screen discrimination, how can we respect the Grimm when so few Grimm can really hurt any of the heroes? The Dragon, the sea dragon, the ape, and the Giest are the only ones that seem to be tough. And still each one was defeated in one episode with little fear from the cast. I want the heroes to have a moment where they retreat from a Grimm and sit shaking in a tent scared trying to figure out how the Grimm became so smart. The Grimm being tactical and able to kill quickly and silently will make it fear incarnate.
