What if the monster just wanted to grab mead with the boys?
Grendel is a spoof based off of the Beowulf legend (in which the hero Beowulf originally defeats the dangerous monster, Grendel). However, in our version of the story, Grendel is actually a kind and gentle monster who wants to befriend his viking neighbors.
