My "Cloaked in Roses" theory claims that the Grim hierarchy or hive mind is intentionally cruel and has an agenda to carry out. That would make the Grim evil. Destructive would be if they had no guiding force and were simply creatures that man can't coexist with. So they're either a malevolent spiritual army, or a destructive force of nature. The destructive part sounds like the resident evil basic zombies they use only instincts to feed and reproduce Good connection, but I think the Flood (minus Gravemind) are a more accurate analogy. Come to think of it, the Grim sort of reminded me of the super-destructive nature spirit in "Princess Mononoke", or the vengeful Panda spirit in Avatar.

But if they're actually evil, with a guiding intelligence and an agenda, than my analogy to the Burning Legion still stands.
