Swift's "brutes in human form" (6)

I believe the answer is:

yahoos

(Other definitions for yahoos that I've seen before include "Swift creature" , "Swift's brutish creatures in Gulliver's Travels" , "Jonathan Swift's brutes that looked 31ac" , "Brute people invented by Dean Swift" , "Brutish people created by Dean Swift" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
