Grendel is a static character in Beowulf because he does not undergo any change or growth throughout the story. He remains the same menacing and bloodthirsty monster from his first appearance until his death at the hands of Beowulf. Grendel's character serves primarily as a symbol of evil and a foil to Beowulf's heroic qualities.
