Fantasy creature (3)

I believe the answer is:

orc

'fantasy creature' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for orc that I've seen before include "Tolkien creature" , "Imaginary creature" , "Tolkienian monster" , "Grampus" , "Killer-whale" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times and the USA Today.
