Fairy tale brutes (5)
I believe the answer is:
ogres
'fairy tale brutes' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for ogres that I've seen before include "huge figures" , "Awful brutes" , "Giants in fairytales" , "Monsters can be goers" , "Man-eating giants of folklore" .)
