In the story Grendel's appearance is vague, no one knows what he actually looked liked, so we have to use our imagination.

i always wondered why Grendel looks like swamp thing.

My favorite visualization of grendal has been the 2007 one since the creature at first is terrifying yet after its fight with beowulf it is shown that he isnt just a bloodthirsty monster, and is actually afraid. I like this version too though.

i am of the opinion that grendel was originally meant to be a draugr. i think the whole "descendant of cain" bit was added after the poem became christianized.

grendel to me looks like a werewolf / gorilla with huge anime muscles lol

[Ben Hawkin]

this version of grendel scares the hell out of me.

Beowulf applies the finer points of ye olde Trollface.

Me and my literature class read this book and constantly made fun of the Watchman because of how gay (literally, i'm not just saying stupid) he acts in the book.
