TheSDCSecretary wrote: Before volume 6 Remnant was a world of creationism. Heck even when it was then established the second race of humanity evolved into existence we still saw modern day animals. Sabyrs and Megoliaths shouldn't exist either, though the latter has more to it than just being based on animal that originally never existed in Remnant. The only water the idea of a dinosaur Grimm had before volume 6 was that since Remnant had Grimm equivalents of things that didn't exist as animals in the world like Wyverns and Griffons you could argue maybe even dinosaur Grimm could exist despite their animal equivalents never coming into existence.

World of Remnant: Grimm said "Many ancient cultures believed the creatures of Grimm to be animals possessed by evil spirits, or perhaps the spirits of tortured animals themselves. However, further study -- as well as the discovery of newer, more horrific forms of Grimm -- does not support this hypothesis." Which implies that, while there are Grimm that look like actual animals, even ones that exist on Remnant, there are also Grimm that don't look like existing creatures, which is why those ancient cultures' hypothesis fell apart. This was back in Volume 2.

Then, there's also the Creep, which, as you have pointed out before, Monty stated is not based on any particular animal. This is also from Volume 2. Why is the Creep allowed to exist despite not being based on anything that actually exists on Remnant, but Sabyrs, Megoliaths, and Teryxes are not?
