I'd be interested in seeing it.  I've been thinking about the same 
archetype, although I've never gone very far with it.  I was figuring on two 
different interpretations of the archetype: the Ghoul and the Ogre.  The 
Ghoul eats dead human beings; the Ogre eats live ones.  The Ghoul's channel 
lets him steal the thoughts and memories of the dead that he consumes (or, 
at higher levels, actually change into a duplicate of the victim for a brief 
time), while the Ogre derives physical strength and power from his victims.

I was planning on putting some PCs into the middle of a conflict between 
these two Avatars of the Cannibal, and seeing what happens.  Nothing good, 
I'd wager.

Hey, here's an almost completely unrelated question: should the Clown be an 
archetype all its own, or is it just another version of the Fool?

   "Yes, I am acquainted with Mr. DePalma," Dr. Hsu said.  "He was
my pupil years ago.  A young man not without talent, but slapdash,
and huckle-muckle in his worksmanship."
   "What did you say?" the mayor asked.
   "He's a jerk," Dr. Hsu Ting Feng said.
