Beetle
Beetles are small insect Creatures of Grimm that have the unique ability to siphon Maiden powers.
A Beetle was first seen when it was summoned by Cinder using a white glove adorned with the emblem of Salem.
The Beetle showed a unique ability to transfer powers from the target to the holder, as shown when Cinder used it to absorb the Maiden powers from Amber. However Qrow Branwen severed the connection before the transfer was complete. It is unknown what would have happened if it was finished.
After the transfer, the Beetle, along with the glove, dissolved into Cinder's hand. Amber is rendered in a coma following the transfer, gains facial scars and nearly killing her, only being kept alive through life support.
Beetles are also capable of walking across walls and ceilings. Without a holder, their only method of attack in the game is by self-destructing, which releases four red projectiles in the ordinal directions of their enemies.
Apathy
The Apathy are Creatures of Grimm that resemble emaciated humanoids.
The Apathy has the ability to use a scream that weakens their prey by draining their will. This works through remote proximity, but if the Apathy can see their target, the effects become much stronger. If the prey is startled, they are jolted out of these remote effects, albeit temporarily.
Repeated attacks will weaken a target to the point of falling asleep while in combat, or even cause their death while unconscious. They also seem to have the ability to drain willpower from remote proximity, as shown when Team RWBY, Oscar Pine, Qrow Branwen and the former residents of Brunswick Farms were affected, in the latter case killing them in their sleep. While the way how the Apathy kill a victim themselves is never shown on-screen, Connor Pickens stated that the pose of the Huntsmen's corpse in the tunnels give clues as to how they do it.
They tend to attack in packs, using their superior numbers and will-draining powers to bring down their prey and compensate for their lack of inherent physical strength. A single Apathy is less powerful and will take longer to drain willpower than it does for an entire pack of them. When alone, an Apathy is not aggressive and seems almost timid.
Despite their slow movement, emaciated form and general lack of physical power, the Apathy are surprisingly resilient to damage. They were shot multiple times with Crescent Rose at point-blank range, yet it had no effect. Only when Ruby used her Silver Eyes, and when Weiss subsequently ignited the remaining Apathy on fire, were they finally killed.
