Persona Appearance: Grendel is a messed mixture of organic and inorganic matter, being some type of abomination wearing a knight armor. Its left side is a blob of bones and flesh, with claws sprouting from the shoulder and from the hands, and with its right side being more human-like, but wielding a grotesque sword made of bone and flesh, with an eye in its middle and a blade mostly composed of solidified blood coming out of it. The legs are almost human, with the feet being three sets of bones growing from the armor. The chest is an open mouth with numerous jaws, with a glowing light coming out of the center. From the horned helmet, red eyes could be seen, as well as purple, long hair.

Persona Background: Grendel is a character of the Scandinavian epic Beowulf, being the creature that was defeated by the main character of the same name. Described as a descendant of Cain alongside his mother, the monster caused havoc on a local city until Beowulf and his foes decided to hunt down the creature; the first of the warriors is killed, and thus they decided to bring an end to this chaos and cease the destruction caused by it. After killing it and its mother, Beowulf decided to keep the head of the monster as a personal trophy, and because of his incredible achievements, he was given gifts and congratulations by the people of Heorot after his arrival.
