Creature in Bratislava (3)

I believe the answer is:

rat

'creature' is the definition.
(I know that rat is a type of scoundrel)

'in bratislava' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'RAT' is hidden within 'bratislava'.

(Other definitions for rat that I've seen before include "Abandon" , "Rodent - deserter" , "Long-tailed rodent" , "Rodent pest" , "Renegade" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
