I feel that Grimm are a type of experiement  that went out of control in the ancient past, like a type of experimental ressurection spell backfiring when used on animals by a person who was named Grimm, who was looking for a way to bring back someone dear to him/her. anyway, the Grimm emit that smoke  when slain, and if they're undead to begin with, it can also explain why they don't have souls. But hey, I can also see them as artifical lifeforms created by someone or something.

Also, how could Grimm reproduce in the modern setting, assuming that they can't do so naturally like regular animals? Could it be through that smoke, but affecting only the animal species that  each Grimm species resemble through? or is it some kind of malevolent entity like some people are guessing that creates them, Or is it a soul killing curse that triggers a metamorphosis of susceptible Faunus, turning them into Grimm? On that last note, one could suggest that Adam could be afflicted by that, forcing him to wear that mask to hide his eyes, which could be an early stage of the transformation.
