GURPS Monster: Shrieking Medusa Head

This might have some spoilers for Carrion Crown. Read on at your own peril. It's probably not too much of a big spoiler, though... especially if you're not even playing Carrion Crown in GURPS...
Here's the stats for a "Beheaded" monster which appears in the Carrion Crown adventure path. This one, specifically, appears in Book 2, Trial of the Beast. Hopefully folks enjoy this and find some use for it...
