Folklore monster (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ogre

'folklore monster' 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 "Monstrous creature" , "Giant of folklore, eats humans" , "The giant is some goer" , "'Demon, fiend (4)'" , "stern one who inspires fear" .)

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