Update for Grimm scientific names.

A while back I made a post with binomen for the Creatures of Grimm. Now that we’re past the halfway mark for Volume 7, and with the release of After the Fall earlier this year, I figured I had enough new Grimm to add to the list.

Newest updates:

Blind Worm, Cyclognathus caecus Centinel, Scolopendrakon custos Dromedon, Erimolania virosputans Geist (Cryo Gigas variant), Eidolarion formafurans cryo Jackalope, Lagoceras herrickorum Leviathan, Cetiostega borealis Megoliath, Cryotherium atliensis Ravager, Mimochiroptera confluens Sabyr, Xiphodontoides atrum Ziraph, Laquelingua tricephala

If you want the etymological breakdown for their names and what they translate to, head on over to the other post.
