ogre
Folklore's hulking cannibal
An ogre is a man-eating giant in folklore and fairy tales—ugly, brutish, and fearsome.
The word extends to any cruel, intimidating person: My boss is an absolute ogre about deadlines.
In fantasy games and fiction, ogres are typically large humanoid monsters of low intelligence but great strength.
