ogro
  19

1º_ European mythical creature, it is an anthropomorphic being of great dimensions, which feeds on human flesh and has magical powers, although these attributes depend on the version, since it is a recurring character in fairy tales that describe it in very different ways. Spanish incorporates it from the French ogre ("giant anthropophage of Norse mythology"), but there are similar beings with similar names in many ancient Eurasian languages, such as Celtic ogyr or Sanskrit ugra, Greco-Latin orco, or exaggerating a little Japanese oni. 2º_ By the previous one, it is said of a person of bad character.
