Middle-earth baddie (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orc

'middle-earth baddie' 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 "Grampus" , "Fairytale monster" , "Tolkienian monster" , "Imaginary creature" , "Tolkien ogre" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate, the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times.
