htrae22:timigiado viro is my guess it means frightening man or nazo viro (means nose man )Probably better nazviro, naza viro, vir' de naz' (although naza viro gives me the impression of a man with a nasally voice).

Neither does "bag man".
I think that an Esperanto name for a scary creature should be something more internationally obvious, for those of us without the cultural background to make a term like "nose man" make sense.

And we can all rest a little easier tonight, knowing that, should the need arise, we have the linguistic resources to terrify our children into submission.
