Beowulf is seriously injured during this fight and ends up dying which concludes in his title as an epic hero. All in all, Beowulf’s transition starts as if a baby starts the stages of walking.
Consequently, Beowulf’s band of soldiers all abandon him and cower in the woods. All except one soldier who was Wiglaf. “The claims of kinship can never be ignored by a right-minded man”(1083). Wiglaf jumps in the fury of battle to defend his king. He fights valiantly and nearly kills the dragon himself.
We can see this as a characteristic of an epic hero because now Beowulf is the king of his people and is very old. The fact that he is super old says that he is truly risking death. Now Beowulf takes himself and eleven other men with him to the dragon tower. He goes in all by himself to fight this dragon. He finds the dragons treasure and then wham the battle is off.

Then he head off into the tower, as the end was coming to the fight and the dragon was winning, and be was being killing with the dragons hot breath, none came to help him.

This monster is by far the strongest of the three and shows attributes of a monster I face in my daily life, the fear of embarrassment. In the epic, the dragon is a creature who is angered by the fact that someone had stolen a treasure from the treasure trove it was guarding. If you want to get to the treasure the monster would have to be defeated. The two are similar in the sense that the fear of embarrassment keeps you away from getting what I want and the dragon was the obstacle in the way of the treasure and “fame” (Beowulf 610).
