Trivia[]
"Grendl" is a play on Grendel, a character in the Old English epic poem Beowulf (ca. 700–1000 A.D.). He is one of the poem's three antagonists (along with his mother and a dragon), all aligned in opposition against the protagonist Beowulf. Grendel is feared by all in the hall of Heorot but Beowulf.
A descendant of Cain, Grendel is described as "a creature of darkness, exiled from happiness and accursed of God, the destroyer and devourer of our human kind". He is usually depicted as a monster or a giant, although his status as a monster, giant, or other form of supernatural being is not clearly described in the poem and thus remains the subject of scholarly debate.
The use of the name here coincides with the general reliance upon Norse imagery and mythology used in the fictional culture of the Leagues of Votann.
