Agrius
One of the sons of Polyphonte, He is a giant that was punished by the gods for cannibalism and cruelty. One story has that he was clubbed to death, but another says he was turned into a vulture. This creature was a demigod, but their father was a bear rather than a human. So these giants were half bear waist down. His name meant wild, savage.
