Pataricu

In the Asturian mythology, The Pataricu or Patarico is one of the least known mythological Asturian characters, and is a type of gigantic humanoid with one eye on the forehead.

Myths & Legends
They live on the cliffs near the sea, most likely on the most western coast of Asturias (a Northwest region in Spain). They feed on fish, shellfish and mollusks, although it is believed that what they like most are raw castaways from shipwrecks. All of these foods are eaten raw, as they know nothing about fire. As these creatures have a great sense of smell, once prey is detected there is no chance of escape.

Some claim that like their relatives, the giants in Galicia (another region in Spain), the pataricos keep great treasures from ancient eras.

Appearance
They are gigantic creatures with one eye similar to the Greek Cyclops. In mythology, pataricos are often depicted as inhumanly large, tall and having a disproportionately large head, one eye in the middle of his forehead, abundant hair, unusually colored skin, a voracious appetite, and a strong body.
