Fairy-tale fiend (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ogre

'fairy-tale fiend' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ogre that I've seen before include "Man-eating giant of folklore" , "Fierce giant" , "One to gobble flesh" , "Terrifying giant" , "Ugly giant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune and the Universal.
