Grassmen are not as combative as other species of Skunk Ape and can develop simple, stone tools. Their favorite treat may be the dandelion root (which is a plant introduced to the area by early pioneers); they have been observed soaking the plant in water overnight (or over the course of a day), drinking and eating afterward. Unlike bigfeet, Grassmen have only three members on each hand and foot.

Grassmen belong to a category of large primates known as "Skunk Apes" (similar to bigfeet). Two distinct species can be found in the state of Ohio: one nocturnal and aggressive, the other smaller and diurnal. As their name suggests, Grassmen can be found foraging in wild fields or open, heavily vegetated forests with scattered tree growth. They prefer sleeping in caves or under rock outcroppings, though may spend their resting hours in grassy, matted beds or dense shubbery. Active year-round, the creatures eat from a long list of food sources—and are even known to steal from campsites, food storages, gardens, and livestock pastures. The smaller variety also are notorious for taking cookware—like pots and bowls—when no one is looking.

All Grassmen tend to avoid human interation, living far from prying eyes, or, at the least, noisy roadways. These organisms communicate through 'whooping' and have strong familial bonds.
