The Grendel are often characterised as a savage strain, though experts would agree that this supposition is based on their arguably brutish looks. The Grendel are generally larger and more muscular than their Human and Aelf cousins. The bone structure of their faces often makes them appear agitated, at least to Humans.

These suppositions could not be further from the truth, however, as Grendel society is no more brutish than any of the other strains on Otan.
