I'll have to read up on the rest of what you wrote before posting ideas.
However, Greys are bad at CC? 

Slight spoiler for the movie _Signs_.

You haven't seen the movie _Signs_ with Mel Gibson, have you...? I was
vaguely
disappointed in the movie, myself (I expected something different) but
it does
have an interesting take on Greys in CC. The greys have nasty claws.
More
importantly, they have some sort of gas extruding from an orifice in the
inner
wrist. This is a nasty gas that's very dangerous when inhaled, though
harmless
if not inhaled.

On the other hand, one guy with a baseball bat can take one out almost
single
handed, so maybe they aren't so good in CC after all...
