Ocho-Kochi (ოჭოკოჩი) is a Colchian/Mingrelian mythological personage. Instead of hair on his breast, he has a protuberance in the form of a pointed bone or a stone-axe. He attacks passers by, whom he kills by embracing them.

He is infatuated by the beauty of the Queen of the Forest, Tkashi-Mapa, whom he chases after. However, his attempts to catch her were often thwarted by hunters who visit her forest.
