He'res the scary thing: Nevermore and Deathstalkers could be killed by Teenagers.

What are the full-fledged Hunters for? Those teenagers were at least a bit trained (other than Jaune), and they could very easily have lost those battles. Full-fledged hunters can do the same, with less risk, and probably not needing four of them. I wouldn't be surprised if it only took two professional hunters to routinely bring down a Deathstalker, and in a crunch some of the best might even do it on their own.

Yup, and to be fair they all got a little lucky. I highly doubt any trained hunter would need to do THAT to defeat a Nevermore. And there was no guarantee that the Deathstalker would have die from the stinger stabbing into back (or whatever it is... I'm not exactly familiar with scorpion physiology). It was the fall that guaranteed an end of it. Also I wouldn't be surprised if there worse things than the Nevermore or Deathstalker. I imagine some marine Grimm could get intimidatingly large, and there's nothing to suggest that any of the Tajitu, Nevermore or Deathstalker were on the greater extreme of their respective species' size range.
