So, apparently news on the Nuckelavee has dropped on [http://So on the V4 crew commentary they talked about something that wasn't really talked about much on the director's commentary; how exactly the Nuckelavee works. They said that the Nuckelavee is two seperate Grimm that have been fused together. It's the combination of some kind of horse Grimm and something they kept referring to as an "Imp". Additionally, the Nuckelavee divides it's power between the Horse and the Imp, they can't both be fully active at the same time. That's why the Imp will go limp sometimes when the Horse is walking or galloping, and why the Horse will often stay stationary when the Imp is attacking with it's arms. While they can both be active at the same time, the Horse/Imp becomes stronger if it's other half isn't doing anything Reddit]. What're your thoughts?

TL;DR: The Nuck is two sepereate Grimm that have been fused to create one (a horse and an "Imp"). It divides it's power between the Horse and Imp, and can't both be completley active simultaneosly - hence why the Imp is nearly always limp so that the Horse can move about freely, and why the Horse is stationary while the Imp attacks. However, they can attack at the same time, just not at full strength.

I personally like this, amps up the creepiness factor by quite a bit.
