According to the story, when Grendal attacked Herot, Beowulf pretended to be asleep until Grendal got close enough for him to grab. He grab Grendal's arm in a "fierce" grasp and no matter what Grendal tried, that grasp could not be broken. Finally, Grendal's arm was torn out at the shoulder. Grendal died.
