Hi this is a local crossword. I cannot get
Surprised as headless monster dances. (8)
I have no letters apart from surprised is the anagram indicator. That was given by the setter as nobody was sending answers … so it’s not just me who’s stumped. Thanks in anticipation.

resonates? anagram of as and onster.
answer is 8 letters patgreg.
So resonate? But clue suggests it should end in a S.
I thought dances would be the anagram indicator.
It could be like a local quiz so may not follow all the conventions of crosswords in national papers??
Ignore me... there's 2 system in the anagram so can't be resonate
Only anagrams I can see are treasons, senators and serantos but that's artwork. Maybe we need the name of a monster like dragon
It's odd that the setter knew noone was submitting because if this clue.
Headless monster could be (v)ampire, (b)igfoot or similar???

So … the setter has given another clue .. she says ‘just go through mythological monsters and get rhythmic’
So I am now trying headless monsters or 9 letter monsters from which I can remove the head … nobody is getting it!
what about bogeyman? (in usa boogieman) boogie=dance
Calypsos
(C ) yclops + as
Well done, Bob!
well done bobb.
is calypso a dance? I thought it was just music
Question Author
I think you may have it with calypsos … going to try…. Thank you all for this … will post result.
Astonish?
Calypso, dance, isn't given in Chambers - but it's a definition in my big Collins dictionary (often a standard reference.)
PS - I forgot to congratulate bobbinwales, well done!
Question Author
Well done Bob .. thanks
