In the epic poem Beowulf, Grendel is a monstrous creature who dwells in the marshes near the kingdom of Hrothgar. He terrorizes the people of Hrothgar's mead hall, Heorot, causing chaos and destruction. Grendel's motivation seems to stem from his isolation and hatred of the sounds of joy coming from the hall. Though he meets his demise at the hands of Beowulf, Grendel's origins as a descendant of Cain and his aimless wandering illustrate his outcast nature and his inability to find peace or redemption.

He dies in the sea-cave lair of his mother. The open wound of his armless shoulder leads the Danes and the Geats with Beowulf to the spot, but they do not actually see the body at that time. Only after the second attack on Heorot does Beowulf find Grendel's body, at which point (presumably not longer protected by his charms as in life) Beowulf cuts off Grendel's head and returns with it to Heorot.
