Dragon

Grendel and the Dragon are both monsters feared by the people except for Beowulf, because they share many similar qualities. They are both larger and stronger than humnas, have sharp claws, large fangs, red eyes, and worst of all, eat humans. The dragon is a monster, something the Anglo-Sxons are not used to seeing, so they are mystified by the pwers it might possess. Something else that makes the dragon unliked, is that no ordinary human can beat him, and maybe not even Beowulf, which make the dragon that much more terrifying. What else makes the dragon unliked is that it bothers the people and the people just want peace.
