Grendel is a man-eating demon (never a good sign) that lives in the land of the Spear-Danes and attacks King Hrothgar's mead-hall, Heorot, every evening. The narrator of Beowulf claims that Grendel's motivation is hearing Hrothgar's bard sing songs about God's creation of the world, which rubs his demonic nature the wrong way.
Whatever the reason, every night Grendel slaughters more Danes and feeds on their corpses after tearing them limb from limb. Although he can't be harmed by the blade of any edged weapon, Grendel finally meets his match when the Geatish warrior Beowulf takes him on in a wrestling match.
having encountered this creature, I can see where the writings come from about him. He would strike fear into anybody's heart. There is something amazingly horrid about him that any writer would try to pen. I don't think this is actually possible. To capture what he is really like is next to impossible. But, he actually existed/exists and this is a listing for him.
are you brave enough to bring the beast of beowulf home.....
