    Theory: The real Grafton monster was just a myth in the fallout universe, the engineers at west-tek nicknamed the fev subjects after the grafton monster because it looked similar to the mythical one and the name stuck.

      Only not nearly as big of a threat. Grafton Monsters have trouble fighting back and they're not much tougher than Snallyghasters. None of the cryptids are that big of a threat compared to things like Gulpers, Anglers, Fogcrawlers, Hermit Crabs, Mirelurk Queens, DeathClaws, and other carried over Fallout 4 nasties. Which all pale in comparison to Scorchbeasts.

      Yeah, the sounds of a person being forcibly transformed into something inhuman is horrifying. Hearing it happen to a guy is disturbing, but the "nope" factor gets turned up to 11 if it's a girl (at least for me). Bonus "nope" points if you can hear the sounds of bone, muscle, and flesh rapidly reorienting as they transform.

    Theory: the Grafton monster already existed and West Tech engineered FEV to replicate the monster. In the radio broadcast, the doctor seemed to be aware that the monsters had no heads, as if that were to be expected. But then in the logs from the facility, it states “lack of a discernible head”, indicating that that was a surprise. So again just a theory.

    I first encountered The Grafton Monster while on a daily trade route that I had to alter, so I had to cut through Grafton to stay on route.
    As I entered the town, The Grafton Day event started, and I was just like: "Okay, some prewar robot's probably just on the fritz." so I continued through Grafton, stealthing my way by Muties and Scorched when I heard this eerie roar.
    I said to myself: "Meh, probably just a behemoth, what with the Super Mutant infestation and all." So I kept on trucking, when I finally laid eyes upon it.
    It scared the living crap out of me and I could only spout two words from my mouth: "Oh shit".

    Since research takes a while to take notes and gather info, I think that the entry of the Grafton Monster in west tec is done a good deal after it was made. You said the radio play was one month before and so I believe that it is possible that during all that time the scientists were just gathering info first *before* putting it down on the terminal. And *during* that research, those kids stumbled upon it.

      Just for some reason Bethesda decided that the only one that makes regular and active appearances are Vertibirds. Only exceptions being special scripted encounters like the Prydwyn and Boomer's Bomber.
      Frankly I think they should have/of had more than just Vertibirds be the vehicle encounters. Imagine having to fight a Gunner controlled APC or Tank.

    I like to think many of the "cryptids" exist and once things mutated (be it by radiation or FEV or what have you) people named it based on what it reminded them of. Particularly ravenous ghoul subspecies became wendigos, am53 like mutations became known as Grafton monsters. Seems the most likely unless they were being specifically breed though am53s data entry while confirming it was an intentional creation its exact form was accidental

    My theory, is that the subject we hear about , may be the most succeful one, but other tests of that strain of FEV may have been considered failures, and their bodies dumped somewhere.
    Then, "nature" have gone it's course, and someone may have been infected and turned into a "proto-Grafton Monster", starting the legends.
    Other idea, and this one is one that i actually would love to see explored a little more, is that some strains of FEV mutate the body, in accord with the mind of the subject, like with Richard Grey, a extremely intelligent and mind focused man, turning into a "super living brain".
    Maybe, some rare strains of FEV, mainly the ones tested at west-virginia and the first containers at mariposa, could bind or somehow use the subject mind and mutate the body in accord to it, that would explain how some cryptocreatures would be born from FEV and would open potential for new FEV creatures on the fallout world.

And, given it is is the Fallout universe, there is a better than zero chance that they dug up some sort of bug/virus/microbe which seemed to have rapid mutagenic properties and adaptability, or something, and decided that engineering that into the "cure" would produce positive effects. So.. Lets say this mutagen was already around, deep in the ground, and was dredged up, now and then, in rare cases, where it combined with radiation (especially from some of these Fallout only type isotopes that other labs got all exited about), and *sometimes* you got a case of a perfect storm - a single person, animal, etc. that got infected, then irradiated, and the resulting mutation ends up producing these really rare anomalies.
      Only, now you have idiots using FEV, which they don't really understand, which contains bits of this mutagen, which was stuck into the original attempt to produce a cure, and its being exposed, right and left, to **exactly** the sort of radiation that caused the mutagen to produce all these, previously super rare, creatures. They, literally, unwittingly, dumped an "improved" version of the mutagen, into environments that *caused* the original one off, or at least staggeringly rare, mutations in the first place.

    Well, people and animals [even some plants] in Fallout universe already different from normal [for simplicity of understanding lets say they have the X gene] so it's possible that radiation from nuclear war activaded this gene. And at the same time, even before the war some unfortunate soul might spontaneously mutated from any number of reasons: ambient radiation, Retrovirus and so on into Grafton Monster.
    Its explain why some individuals mutated into ghouls while others just die from radiation and why some members of Church of the Children of Atom are immune to the adverse effects of radiation and can live freely in high-radiation zones, its just different kinds of mutation in each case.
    At least good enough for me until I see canon explanation. It even can explain FEV. At least good enough for me until I see canon explanation. It even can explain FEV.
    While researching immunity-boosting drugs West Tek's observed abnormal side effects in the test subjects, so they dissected and find the cause of the mutation one particular gene that can rewrite the host body in many number of ways. And researching this gene they came up with FEV.
