'fairy tale monster' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ogre that I've seen before include "Fairy tale giant" , "Ugly giant" , "Giant of folklore who liked to eat humans" , "Fairy tale monster" , "Bogeyman" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today, the King Feature Syndicate, The Star Tribune, The New York Times and the Newsday.
