I love Beowulf, aside from being the oldest example of a written tale in english, its also a rather good one. We see a culture's idea of a hero, and later their ideal of an elder king. We see the things that culture fears and values and its very fantasy RPG.
There's a bit of a controversy with Grendal's mother check our wikipedia for more on that...
In her natural form
Grendal’s mother appears to be a repulsive mix of Green Hag and Thawn.
Unfortunately few men have the mental fortitude to see her as such and she
appears to be a lovely Dryad or Nixie.

----- Special
Abilities -----
Mimicry (Ex) A thawn hag can imitate the sounds of almost any animal found near its lair.
Repulsive (Ex) Thawn hags find the appearance of themselves and others of their kind revolting. As such, most wear heavy cloaks or otherwise obscure their countenances. All thawns within 30 feet of an uncloaked thawn must make a DC 15 Will save or be sickened for 1 round. This repulsion is all the more severe when a thawn sees its own reflection. Should a thawn hag be confronted with its own reflection (such as being presented with a mirror) it must make a DC 15 Will save or be sickened for 1d4+1 rounds.
Weakness (Su) A thawn hag's claws sap strength from those she strikes. Each time a thawn hag hits a foe with her claw attack, the victim takes 2 points of Strength damage unless he resists the weakness with a DC 16 Fortitude save.
