How is Grendel monstrous?

What makes Grendel in particular a monster? Is it his behavior, thoughts, looks, or all three?

Grendel is considered to be a monster, mainly because of his appearance and his actions. Since he has been isolated from society and the humans have a hard time understanding his speech, he is quickly judged to be a horrible monster who should be killed. If a human being kills someone, he kills for honor and glory and will be considered a hero. Since Grendel has a difference appearance he is feared by all and is viewed as a monster who has no feelings or remorse.

but even if he looked ugly and was nice he wouldn't have been a monster
