There's a least one other species of Grimm out there.

The weapons on the ship that Blake and Sun travelled on weren't designed to fight a Sea Feilong. The guns couldn't move fast enough, and there were no weapons for shooting down air attackers. Blake and Sun had to cripple the Sea Feilong's wings to slow it down and then distract it so the Heavy cannon could strike the fatal blow. The weapons on the ship were designed to fight something else.

Something slow moving, because the side cannons didn't have much freedom of movement. So the tactics involved would have been to manouever the ship, not the guns.

Also, the Heavy cannon wasn't built with rapid movement in mind, but with firepower. The fact that you need a heavy cannon suggests that occasionally you'll run into something that the side guns can't take down. But this other Grimm isn't that big, as seen by the Captain's comments when facing the Sea Feilong ("By the Gods....We've never seen something this big"). If this other Grimm isn't big, then it must be well armoured, or it hunts in packs with an older Grimm standing off and directing others. Then the side guns are for the smaller members and the heavy cannon is to take out the large ones from longer range.

So either we're dealing with something like a Grimm whale (I'm going to call it a Moby), or a pack of Grimm sharks (which I'm going to call Carcharodon, after the Latin for shark)
