Come to think of it, I wouldn't mind having the Grim names all based off myths, folk tales, and epics. Like the Crow/Vulture could be a variation on the Roc, there could be a Feathered Serpent (Quetzlcoatl, the Aztec over-god), and the Boar Grim could have some ties to the Welsh/Celtic myth of Arawn (king of the underworld), althought that last one might be a wee tad obscure.

However Beowolves don't really seem like werewolves, as they don't turn back into humans (as far as we know), so having the first werewolf appear wouldn't make a lot of sense. Also depending on your mythology, Lycaon of Greek mythology was the first werewolf, but Beowolf is a Norse legend so I can see why you would go for Grendal.
