man-eating
Devouring human flesh
Man-eating describes an animal that preys on humans, typically applied to large predators like sharks, tigers, or crocodiles that have killed and consumed people.
The term carries a sense of particular danger and menace, suggesting an animal that has developed a taste for human flesh rather than attacking defensively.
The village lived in fear of the man-eating tiger.
