Grindl or Grendel was the son of the Valkyrie Grinhilda. Grinhilda was pregnant when she was transformed into a monster by putting on the Rheingold Ring. Grindl was born after Xena trapped Grinhilda in an abandoned mine. He lived there for about 35 years with his mother – the curse of the Ring had afflicted him in utero and he was thus born a hideous monster. He learned to forsake love and was able to harness the power of the Ring, enabling him to escape and slaughter many people before Xena, with the help of Gabrielle, Beowulf and Brunhilda, was able to kill him. While examining his corpse, however, Xena, who had assumed Grinhilda has simply broken free, realized the truth, and warned the others that something worse was coming.

  • Grindl or Grendel was the son of the Valkyrie Grinhilda. Grinhilda was pregnant when she was transformed into a monster by putting on the Rheingold Ring. Grindl was born after Xena trapped Grinhilda in an abandoned mine.

While examining his corpse, however, Xena, who had assumed Grinhilda has simply broken free, realized the truth, and warned the others that something worse was coming. As Xena feared, Grindl's death sent his mother into a rage, and she teamed up with Odin to defeat Xena, but after she was cured, Grinhilda seemed to forgive Xena for killing her son. Most infer that Grindl's father was the god Odin because Grinhilda had been Odin's lover, but this was never explicitly confirmed.
