ogress
Female folklore fiend
An ogress is a female ogre—a monstrous, man-eating giant from folklore and fairy tales.
The word appears in stories where such creatures threaten heroes or devour children.
Like ogre, it extends figuratively to any woman perceived as cruel, frightening, or domineering: The children called their strict headmistress an ogress.
