A growth maybe considered ugly (4,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wart hog

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'considered ugly' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'a growth maybe' is the wordplay.
'maybe' indicates anagramming the letters.
'a'+'growth'='agrowth'
'agrowth' with letters rearranged gives 'WART-HOG'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wart hog that I've seen before include "(Ugly) African wild pig" , "Wild boar of Africa" , "A growth (anag) -- African animal" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
