Help with understanding this "quote": 「現身に飢獣を降ろす 月下の能力者」


I'm currently watching an anime called 文豪ストレイドッグス and I'm having some trouble
with this sentence:

> 現身{うつしみ}に飢獣{きじゅう}を降ろす 月下の能力者

In the scene there's a character who's transforming into something like a
"weretiger" thanks to the (full?) moon, thus he is a 能力者.

Among the many definitions I found for 現身{うつしみ}, "現世に生きている人" seems to be the
most appropriate for my possible interpretation, then, I'm pretty sure
飢獣{きじゅう} is just some fancy way to say hungry beast. Overall, I interpret the
sentence as something like "月下の能力者 which unleashes a hungry beast on earth".

Now that I've written it down it seems to have more sense to it, but I'm still
uncertain on what the correct definitions for 現身{うつしみ} and 下ろす would be, and
I'm also wondering if there's actually a word which spells きじゅう that uses a
more common kanji for 飢.




  * The kanji 身 refers to one's body/flesh (as opposed to soul, mind, spirit, etc). 現身 also refers to one's body, but with an added nuance of "(bound to) this world".
  * 降ろす is "to bring down" or "to call down", and it's a verb commonly used in the context of necromancy ( **降** 霊術), deity possession, [_itako_](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itako), etc. 神降ろし is a common phrase. This assumes that the 飢獣 belongs to some "different realm", usually some heavenly place. Together with 現身に, we can tell that this person's ability is something closer to channeling or possession rather than simple transformation or summoning.
  * Without context, no one would imagine 飢獣 when hearing きじゅう. The sound of きじゅう is usually associated with 機銃 (machine gun). But Japanese has tons of homophones, so this wouldn't be a problem at least in written texts.

> 現身に飢獣を降ろす  
>  (who) channels a ravenous beast into the body
