In the epic poem "Beowulf," Grendel and his mother possess special powers that render them immune to conventional weapons. Grendel's skin is impervious to swords and other conventional weapons, making it difficult to harm him. Similarly, Grendel's mother is protected by enchantments and possesses superhuman strength, which also makes her resistant to traditional weapons.
Beowulf had to face Grendel alone because only weapons made by humans could harm Grendel, who was invulnerable to traditional weapons.
