Bigorne

The Bigorne (counterpart of the Chicheface) was a monster which terrorised the French provinces of Normandy and Auvergne, dating back to the 15th century. Unlike the Chicheface this collossal creature was heavily bloated, feeding on the husbands of overbearing wives.

The beast is depicted as having a smooth rounded belly and back and huge clawed feet. Its almost humanoid face is dominated by a flat snout and gaping mouth lined with rows of sharp teeth.

Contrary to the etymology of the name Bigorne or Bicorn (two horns), no horns are present.
