Fallout 76: 8 Terrifying Enemies (And What They Represent)

One of the most straightforward adaptations of a monster from its legend, the Grafton Monster is a giant, hulking creature with pale white skin that will clobber you to death with its nubby arms should you get too close. It appears headless, and could be mistaken for a slab of rock if not observed carefully, at least until it starts launching boulders and black liquid and being generally smashy in the local vicinity.

The original beastie was spotted in - you guessed it - Grafton in 1965, simply lurking by the side of the road in the dead of night, noted for it's 'seal-skin' appearance. When hunted for afterwards, it had disappeared, but a low whistling could be heard throughout the area, and the land was clearly disturbed by something heavy.

There's little else known about the monster dubbed the 'headless horror' by locals, with only one sighting and a runaway newspaper campaign that saw plenty of residents attempt to hunt the creature out. That Fallout has created an aggressive, The Thing-like version of the creature suggests our implicit fear of the unknown, attaching a violent disposition onto something previously known as only quietly observant simply because there is little else to be known about it.

Removing his head and creating a pure brawn-like creature is of course testament to unbridled aggressive and the destruction it can wreak without thought for our actions, too.
