htrae22:timigiado viro is my guess it means frightening man or nazo viro (means nose manProbably 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.
