Ta-Awi is an ogre-like creature in the Philippines. The creature has a body bigger than an ordinary man but despite the size, they are very agile. They are described as being very ugly and their voice is very thunderous. Their voice is so thunderous that it would terrify Maranao hunters. 

Ta-Awi is known to raid villages and devour people alive. They avoid eating the eyes as for some reason they cannot digest them.
