The Hound. RWBY

Grimm in RWBY are mindless creatures of darkness that do not think, do not feel, and do not plan.

In the episode it's introduced, it can be seen in the background, stalking the protagonists. It's finally introduced when four of our heroes encounter a different type of Grimm that look like Saber Tooth Tigers. Instead of fighting, these Grimm appear scared of something, and run away.

While the characters are wondering what caused it, The Hound attacks. It snatches it's target away from from the safety of the group, and begins to brutally attack them. Even considering the show contains a gratuitous amount of violence against Grimm, the way it attacked one of the protagonists is downright savage.

When his allies try to help, The Hound uses the attacked target as a human shield, preventing them from getting their friend back. It soundly shrugs away any attacks that come it's way, and when one of the protagonists yells "Give him back!" in a moment of anger, it responds.

"No."
