Tolkien beast (3)

I believe the answer is:

orc

'tolkien beast' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for orc that I've seen before include "Killer whale" , "Fairytale monster" , "Fierce goblin" , "Grampus" , "Ugly creature" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, the Universal, the USA Today, the LA Times and the King Feature Syndicate.
