kinokefalos

since we are people here from a lot of countries I should like to ask
here which are the denominations for Greek "kinokefalos" in other
languages. Are there such mithological beings in the popular mithology
of other folks?

Explanation (maybe not needed):

kinokefalos should have meant people which have had a dog head instead
of a human head; they have been supposed to eat the little children who
got too far away from their home, but sometimes mature persons too could
end "eaten" by such monster. Somtimes these creatures should have had
two heads.
