Answer:

The character being described in the lines is:

C. Grendel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Grendel is one of the character in the epic poem "Beowulf". He is described as having a monster-like appearance, as well as being a man-eating monster, incapable of feeling, whose only purpose is to kill. Notice how somber and scary the words associated with him are: shameless, shocking, malice, and murder. No one truly understands Grendel's motivations to kill, and nobody truly cares. All they want is to get rid of the monster, which is what the hero Beowulf does.
