Lucky mascot (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

talisman

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">lucky mascot</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for talisman that I've seen before include "Object supposed to bring good luck" , "Object bringing luck" , "Object believed to protect wearer" , "Lucky thing" , "Object thought to guard against evil" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
