Kirmira

Kirmira (Sanskrit: किर्मीर, IAST: Kirmīra) was a monstrous Rakshasa featured in the Mahabharata. He was the younger brother of the demon Bakāsura and a good friend of Hiḍimbā. He lived in the Kāmyaka Forest and hunted men at night for his food. He opposed the Pandavas entering the forest and threatened to eat Bhima, by whom he was slain in a furious combat.
