Grendel vs Humbaba

There are several differences between Grendel and Humbaba. Grendel was eating everyone in Herrot. Humbaba had his forest attacked, and destroyed by Gilgamesh. Grendel had every right to die, whereas Humbaba had no right to be killed, because he never started anything. I think Humbaba was a better character than Grendel, because Grendel kept going into Herrot where he had no business being, and he ate innocent people of the meadhall. Humbaba stayed in the Cedar Forest minding his own business, until Gilgamesh started wrecking his territory.
