Cantankerous folklore monster (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

troll

(Other definitions for troll that I've seen before include "Grotesque dwarf" , "Draw baited line, to lure fish" , "Ugly character from Norse legend" , "Dwarf (or giant) of Norse myth" , "Cave-dwelling dwarf or giant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
