Beowulf doesn't show mercy, in fact he does the exact opposite. When Grendel realizes the battle is lost, he gives up in his head, yet Beowulf continues to finish him off. "Grendel's one thought was to run from Beowulf, flee back to his marsh and hide there..." (line 314 of the translated Beowulf).

Beowulf shows mercy by sparing Grendel's mother in their battle, despite her being an enemy. He also displays mercy by refusing to kill Unferth when given the opportunity, choosing instead to forgive him for his previous insults.
