Fierce; cruel (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

truculent

This clue is a double definition.

'fierce' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'cruel' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for truculent that I've seen before include "Aggressively defiant" , "Surly" , "Obstreperous" , "Defiantly aggressive" , "Rude and aggressive" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
