Description	Skeletal sowrdsmen that were masters of the blade before they became bones. They abandoned their humanity-and their mortality-in order to attain ultimate power

Their name comes from the phrase "grievous bodily harm", a short way of describing great physical injury, a feat which this monster is obviously more than capable.
