Okay so fun fact, throughout the episode you can see the intelligent grim stalking them in the background. During the dragon chance for example, it runs across a overhead bridge.

Fun fact about the Hound (the dog that sent to take Oscar): every time its bones crack, it means the Hound is creating a specific part to benefit the situation. So when Ren said "Give him back", you can hear one crack near the neck means that he (yes, it's a boy) creates a voice box to respond to Ren, and at the same time makes the team to shock to move. Also he is blind, so he's heavily rely on sound and smell like Daredevil

With the reason youre thinking then they'd also fear someone else and that's not the case. It's like they said, the hierarchy because that one is directly from Salem

Okay I've always had a vested intrest in osacr's story but recently I realized I have second personality that has been watching over and protecting me but desperatly trying to connect with me for years and now this intrest in Oscar's story makes perfect sense...
He's basically symbolic of a system, someone who is plural, with multiple personalities and they are fighting for control before learning to coexist.....
I REALLY Hope my Oscar theory about his semblence pans out.....

And we're finally introduced to the big bad wolf/the queen's hound. It's design is so much fun and how it breaks the "norm" of how the grim are makes it unsettling to say the least. Looking forward to ya'lls reaction to this roller-coaster of a season.

Happily Ever After…Happy? Never Again.To this day I still find the Hound Grimm the most terrifying Grimm in all of RWBY. Not only was this the first instance of intelligence, the fact it was able to speak and form a reply to Ren and so much more to come is terrifying. You can even see it just stalking the group in the background in multiple shots also is a cool detail the animators included during this.

For me, the hound is #2 most terrifying. #1 goes to the Apathy, because they're basically just weaponized Depression, and I deal with normal depression enough in my life, so Grimm Depression? NO THANK YOU

Ah the Hound. You can actually see it stalking Oscar in the background in several shots before it attacks.

Ironwood's semblance is Mettle, which strengthens his resolve and removes his emotions. He is the Tinman now, without a heart.

I felt the same way as you guys. Ironwood did a 180 out of nowhere after his fight with the doctor.

The crew never said it came out of nowhere. They said his fall from grace happened quickly. Which falls generally do happen fast. But the setup has long since been there. You could see the signs in V4 and he was teetering the entire time in V7.

It was out of nowhere. He had everything set and team Rwby fucked everything up from top to bottom then betrayed ironwood who trusted them.
Crwby using Ironwoods semblance as the reason for his 180 when its wasn't established in the beginning of the series that one's semblance effects their way of thinking. Out of all Characters they give it to the one who was objectively right, viewers actually fkd with, and had a plan against Salem.

It's a conflict of ideologies. Ironwood believes the sacrifice of the many for the survival of the few is worth it, and the only option, while Ruby and the gang don't. They believe it's more worth it to try to save everyone, and if they fail, they at least tried, rather than willingly letting most die so only a few can survive and live stuck in a city in the sky while terror roams below them.
And there is no right or wrong in this kind of situation.
I'm personally on Ruby's side. Love Ironwood as a character (he's top 3) and everything the writers did with him, but fuck his plan. I say "fuck it we ball" and try to save everyone, if it doesn't work, oh well, it wouldn't be the best life to live stuck in the sky anyway, and I imagine there would be restrictions on when you could have children and how many since there's limited space, unless they somehow found a way to expand.

It’s definitely not out of nowhere. He was already stressed out since Beacon fell, we see his PTSD of the fall, and he literally told Oscar before his fight with Watts “no more surprises, alright? I don’t think I can handle it”. Then, when he finally thinks everything is going to be ok with Watts and Tyrion secured, he finds the black queen chess piece on his personal desk, the same symbol he saw during the fall of Beacon, making him panic. And to add more salt to the wound, Salem herself appears in front of him and tells him she’s on her way… it’s not out of nowhere.

Plus his semblance literally dulling his emotions when under stress justifies his ruthlessness in his current circumstances perfectly well.

There were also signs of this in V4. Sure, he was threatening Jacques to stay on his good side. But he was saying things that a dictator would say.

I love that as opposed to most other Grimm, this one fights like an animal and not an npc in turn based combat.
