    Monster Type:  Giant Humanoid (Very Rare).
    The Grafton Monster is a huge humanoid, weighing in at 1,500 lbs., with 4' wide shoulders, and standing 9' tall.  Also called the headless horror for the way it stands, the creature's head is slung low toward the middle of its chest most time, although it can draw itself up to its full height.  Otherwise, it appears as a giant, slovenly, barbaric human.  It wears rags for clothes, or skins.
    For its size, it is incredibly quick, not slow like other giants.  It can move quickly in rough terrain, and is not slowed by difficult ground (ignore any penalties for terrain).  It's a predator, and is smart enough to stalk and hunt prey, but it is not intelligent enough to speak a language. It communicates with grunts and groans.  It can roar as well, and this roar reverberates through the hills, echoing almost sub-sonically it is so deep.  This roar can be heard over great distances and can be almost felt in the air when near.  It can leap up to 20' horizontally or veritically.
    Terrain:  Cavern, Mountain, Woods.

Inspired by S1 E8 of Mountain Monsters.  Quote of the episode:  "Slicker than socks on a rooster."
