Holy Spirit obvi. Grendel is a Wight, a spirit of nature that has become a vengeful monster only due to Hroðgar’s vanity in building Heorot. Coming from a viewpoint of Anglo-Saxon folklore, wights seem to not need two parents. Grendel’s father is irrelevant and likely nonexistent.
What motivates Grendel to kill?
The most obvious motive for Grendel’s attack is envy and a sense of exclusion. He hears the laughter in the mead-hall, hates the Danes and their merry-making from which he is excluded, and resolves to kill them. He attacks the mead-hall because the story demands that he should do so.
