Never heard of a "Brawny Monster" before.

I think brawny monster probably is a general description rather than a proper name - just like evil moderator might be a good general description for me.

Care to critique this?

D’karr’morat, Skinhusker (Blade Fiend)

A skinhusker demon resembles a frightfully muscular, 9-foot-tall human with red skin and a bestial muzzle full of sharp fangs. Each of its two arms ends in a wicked, 3-foot-long, serrated bone blade. A skinhusker revels in combat and enjoys inflicting pain.

Electricity Resistance 20 (Ex): A skinhusker ignores the first 20 points of damage from any attack that deals electricity damage.

Immunities (Su): A skinhusker can speak telepathically with any creature within 60’. The creature must share a common language.

even i'm not that desperate.

IIRC, it's an early concept drawing of what eventually became the Gray Render.

Many of the early 3e design sketches bore little resemblance to their final incarnations (notably the Ethereal Marauder).

...and I bring you proof.

This must be a later sketch, yet it still bears the description "Brawny Monster"
