Fantasy brute (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ogre

'fantasy brute' 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 "Ergo (anag.)" , "One to gobble flesh" , "Fairy tale monster" , "Terrifying person" , "Has a monstrous role" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times and The Washington Post.
