I disagree with this because if it were true, then there would be hundreds of different Grimm out there. Even a simple forest would result in Grimm Bears, Wolves, Foxes, Deer, Rabbits, and not to mention the different kinds of birds out there. Well not necessarily. The Grimm would probably just weaponize the animal rather than have a variety of different Grimm that look similar. Nevermores (Assuming this flood theory is correct) Could simply be what happens to any kind of bird, gaining the ability to launch its feathers like spines and such. Likewise, Beowolves could be both wolves OR foxes mutated into monsters, and perhaps other similar animals. Bears are different from canines and thus would be affected differently. Rabbits and Deer are passive creatures and are thus ignored by the Grimms dark sentience, seeing as they would be hard to weaponize.

The flood theory would be a very good explanation as to why the monsters take on designs of predatory animals rather than more alien, other-worldy creatures such as dragons or demons.

I think that the Grimm only changes animals of a design it thinks it can turn into an effective-killing machine.
