Intelligence: Above Average (The Hound displays a level of intellect that far surpasses a majority of Grimm, to the point of being close to genuine Human-like intelligence. Prior to its confrontation with Yang, Jaune, Ren, and Oscar, it showed enough cunning, patience, and stealth to first observe the group before attacking in order to find any weaknesses it can exploit. During the attack, The Hound had enough self-control to break Oscar's Aura without seriously injuring him. It was also smart enough to use him as a shield to prevent the rest from attacking it or using their firearms against it. Furthermore during its flight back to Monstra with Oscar, it knew it had no time to waste fighting off its pursuers and instead called for reinforcements. Finally, it showed the capacity to talk and answer when spoken to, as seen where it utters the word "No" in response to Ren’s demands to return Oscar, implying that it understood human language)
Weaknesses: All Grimm are weak to powers associated with the God of Light such as the Silver Eyes. Due to its lack of eyes The Hound is blind and is forced to rely on its hearing and sense of smell.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Adaptation: The Hound's primary ability is to adapt its own body to fit the surroundings needed. It is shown to be able to rearrange its limbs, sprout bat-like wings, and stretch its limbs at great distances.
