A Huge Problem with RWBY's Grimm

[Sir_Ovens]

After looking through a few RWBY calcs, it has hit me that Grimm aren't exactly made up of flesh. In fact, I can't find a source for what Grimm are made up of exactly. Considering this biological mystery, shouldn't the density and mass of such creatures also be put into question? This affects all calcs that use Grimm for KE or lifting. By now you must understand why this is a huge issue for the verse, so I'll be blunt.

We either assume Grimm are made up of flesh, made up of some other material, or disregard all Grimm calcs. The latter option is very extreme and I hope that it will not come to that, so a discussion should probably take place.​

They aren't made of normal biology, but I don't think there's officially any sort of alternative. Grimm are basically zombies or skeleton like creatures however; so take that as you will.

 

[Sir_Ovens]

Just saying, I take a completely neutral stance on this. I'm perfectly fine with using real-world equivalents to justify composition of Grimm. I'm just making everyone aware that this glaring issue exists.

I might ask @WeeklyBattles for more in depth context.

I said this on Discord but i'll say it here too just for reference, the Grimm's biology while currently unknown shouldnt have a density that far off from water seeing as they display mass comparable to their animal equivalents (With some exceptions for the giant creatures of course). The use of water as a density should be a fair assumption for the moment.

I would use water or tar as that is what the Grimm are made of basically from the pools of Grimm aka a liquid

 

[Sir_Ovens]

If everyone agrees with water, then all Grimm related clacs will have to be looked at again and probably redone with water as the biological consistency of Grimm.

Thats whatthey currently are, im fairly certain there are no calcs that dont use water as density

 

[Sir_Ovens]

Cool. I suppose going forward we should refer to this thread with regards to any RWBY clac that requires the density of Grimm.

For posterity, can we go once around all the clacs to make sure they don't use any density that isn't water?

Here's the Nevermore, Goliath, and Blind Worm calcs

 

[WeeklyBattles]

The only calcs that needed to use density for the Grimm are the nevermore calcs, the goliath calc, and the blind worm calc, none ofthe others have had KE feats worth calcing lol

Giant sized characters can also be calculated via Gravitational Potential Energy.

Can I have a link to your Discord?
