Beast is a little angry, phonetically (7)
I believe the answer is:
gryphon
'beast' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'a little angry phonetically' is the wordplay.
'a little' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (a little bit of the clue).
'GRYPHON' can be found hidden inside 'angry phonetically'.
'is' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gryphon that I've seen before include "Winged monster with lion body" , "He took Alice to Mock Turtle" , "Alice's mythic creature" , "ordered to escort Alice" , "Fabled beast, eagle-lion" .)
