Fairy tale menace

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ogre

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ogre that I've seen before include "Wicked giant" , "Giant of folklore who ate humans" , "Ergo (anag.)" , "Grim(m) beast?" , "Terrifying monster" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
