The demon grim was Grendel called
Marsh-stalker huge, the moors he roamed...
And that's all I remember from English class. Could be time to go buy a certain verse translation instead of crappy 80s comps...

No.

Grendel's kenning is "hell-serf." I just love that. It should be the name of a death metal band from Sweden.
