'bulu' can mean 'body hair' but another translation is 'feathers', indicating coarseness and the animal world. Most Ogres are red and hairy with skin blotches, emphasising their impurity. A small number of ogres are white and may be thought of as gods. There is also a white monkey god.

However, i'm less interested in the academic interpretations and more in what people on the street think... or if anyone else has had similar experiences ;)
