"It seems to be the case..." Beryl responded for a moment, now pondering a bit more as she looked over the surroundings. Notably, the old house was situated on a bit of a hill, with the slight incline from said position giving a somewhat better view of the overall graveyard. From here, aside from the abundance of tombstones nearby, a small pond could be seen at the foot of the area. Despite there being several water lillies and typha plants among it, the water itself would seem surprisingly clear for the most part. Further investigation would reveal that the pond is also quite shallow as well.

"Huh, I didn't even notice that until just now." Shula spoke up, soon pointing in the direction of the water.

"It looks...strangely clean, don't you think?" Beryl added in, now walking towards the pond to observe it up close. As she progressed towards it however, a sudden noise of rustling grass would sound off from nearby. The Faunus quickly looked over to her side, now trying to pin-point the source; which would seem to be much closer than she had anticipated...

"A-Ahh! W-What is that?!" The young Faunus shouted at this point, now quickly stepping back while drawing out her weapon, the Tiamat Glaive. This immediately prompted Shula to head over to her position, also bringing out her own weapon in the process.

"Beryl! What's wro--ooohhh..." Shula's concern immediately trailed off into confusion upon reaching her friend's side and spotting the source of the sudden surprise: Crouched over a nearby gravestone was a very small, stout looking Grimm of some kind. Its strange features seemed to be almost like a combination of traits from other Grimm, albeit in a condensed form. The creature seemed to notice its 'company' after hearing Beryl's reaction to it, and would currently be pressing its back up against the tombstone; its beady, red eyes now darting back and forth between the two huntresses as its breathing seemed to get quicker and heavier.

"Shula, what type of Grimm even is this?" Beryl finally managed to speak up, now looking over to her friend slightly in concern, though not wanting to take her vision fully off the creature at the same time. Shula paused for a moment in slight nervousness to the question, though eventually made her response.

"Don't look at me...I've never even heard of something like this before." Though Shula loathed to admit it, even with her studies of Grimm-kind and how to deal with them, this was a creature she had never encountered before; even in written format via reports or articles. Most likely, Suno and Taiyuan wouldn't recognize this exact Grimm variant either. However, all of its physical traits would certainly be identifiable in one way or another, especially the unmistakable elephant-like trunk it possesses.
