Claw Grime

Using the Claw Mark, the user wraps their markings around the flesh of a Ten-Tails, splitting small portions off to create humanoid soldiers akin to Fission Beings. Unlike the Fission Beings, however, the Grimes can manifest the Rinnegan and can be capable of speech to an extent. Due to Code enhancing them, the Grimes can use the marks on each other to travel.

Like the Ten-Tails, they have an instinct to consume others, turning into miniature God Tree version alongside with those they bite. After consuming enough chakra, some of the Grimes were able to evolve, mimicking aspects of the appearance and gaining the abilities of those turned into trees. Unlike Ten-Tails and the standard Claw Grimes, these evolved versions possess self-awareness. Once fully awakened, the Grimes' instinctive need to consume an Ōtsutsuki and become a true God Tree is temporarily overridden by their newfound curiosity and desire to acquire new knowledge.
