"Abandon all hope, ye who enter here…"

The world of Remnant is filled with many strange and terrifying things. The creatures of Grimm who roam the world bring death and destruction, remain a constant mystery. For every answer gained, more and more questions come to take its place.

And every once in a while, something arrives that defies all logic, all rationality, and everything we think we know.

The Gate. A Grimm of such horrific size and appearance that it would undoubtedly leave any human or faunus who saw it paralyzed with fear. Yet in spite of its immense stature, it has not once been seen by living eyes. While other elusive Grimm are often encountered enough to be the things of legends, rumors, or whispers in the night, the Gate has remained unseen by the eyes of man. This absence of contact and conflict with living humans, have resulted in a much lower cognitive thought process than other Grimm of large stature.
