Crossword Genius

Monsters in bog resurfaced (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ogres

'monsters' is the definition.
('ogre' can be a synonym of 'monster')

'in bog resurfaced' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'OGRES' can be found hidden inside 'bog resurfaced'.

(Other definitions for ogres that I've seen before include "Bugbears" , "Awful brutes" , "Gorse (anag.)" , "Monstrous giants and man-eaters" , "Giant types" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
