Melon Heads are legendary creatures found in various "urban legends" across the world, especially in the United States and England - they are said to be deformed mutants or inbred humans who reside in the wilderness and attack passerbys, if local legends are to be believed these "Melon Heads" may either still be alive (suggesting immortality) or actively breeding.
Melon Heads gain their name from their disturbing appearance, which is said to resemble deformed children with swollen heads - although dismissed as fiction by many some still claim to see these terrible creatures and are afraid to venture into the forests where they are said to reside.
