Okay so the person in the Hound isn’t anyone we know, but it’s definitely a Silver Eyed person.

Kindly Ignore the Eldritch Horror consuming the rest of his Body

You can see the white marks that they use to differentiate Silver Eyes from gray. This is what Salem does to SEWs in her custody.

So while this does give us hope for Summer to still be alive... I don’t want to think too hard about what she’d look like by now.

[kaen-ace-of-diamonds]

Okay so the evidence for the Summer Hound theory is piling up: its werewolfish appearance + Summer’s association with the moon, the fact that it has no eyes, the question of “Where did Little Red Riding Hood find her grandmother?” which made my heart leap up into my fucking throat, etc. It also more or less tracks with the Dead Moon theory, though for that one, I have to say, I expected Summer to stay submerged in Grimm goop, not for the Grimm goop to get up and start walking around with her in it, good fucking God.

But when I saw the Hound Grimm start writhing in pain as it transforms to grow wings, the first thing that popped into my head was:

The idea that the Hound Grimm was either once human or that there’s a human trapped inside is almost definitely the correct one. I’m just thinking that if it isn’t Summer, we’d probably still find the human in there very familiar.

There is absolutely no way that Cinder is the only follower that Salem has grafted Grimm parts to. Though we don’t know how exactly it was attached, in Volume 4 Salem knows exactly how to graft it to Cinder without further damaging her, and exactly what to teach Cinder so she can master it afterward. That’s something she could only get through so much experimentation that she’s got it down pat, being a human-turned-Grimm and not a human with a Grimm stuck to her that she has to fight to control.

There’s also no way that Cinder is the only weak, scared, and powerless person that Salem has promised everything they ever wanted in exchange for loyal service. Like Tock came before Tyrian in her line of killer theater kids, how many Cinders has she had? How many of them either chose to or were, let’s say, highly encouraged by their master to enhance their bodies with Grimm? And how many — when the graft failed, or when it was used to punish them for betrayal or unforgivable failure even after it went perfectly — died, if they were lucky, or were turned completely into monsters, stuck as Salem’s attack dogs forever?

In addition, the closest match I could find for Cinder’s Grimm hand before now was a Geist, but the Hound’s hand looks even more similar:

And here:

Hound Grimm pulls the exact same stretchy arm trick that Cinder’s new arm is introduced with. Was that the first thing her predecessor learned to do, too?

[howlingday]

Hound: If... no... Ruby... why... resist?

Civilian: Yeah, the freak's got a point!

Bystander: Yeah, show us your face, Red Rose!

Onlooker: Prove you're not Ruby Rose!

Ruby: Come on! Just because I'm not Ruby, it doesn't mean I'll just reveal my secret identity! It's called a secret identity for a reason!

Hound: (Hacks, Coughs) Methinks the maiden doth protest too much.

Ruby: Okay, I've been fighting you for a while now, and that has got to be the freakiest thing you've ever done!

tw // body horror Since the reference for the Hound's human face was shown in the credits, I thought I use it to draw a rendering.
