Creature with no lead makes a point (4)
I believe the answer is:
east
'a point' is the definition.
(east is a kind of point)
'creature with no lead' is the wordplay.
'creature' becomes 'beast' ('beast' can be a synonym of 'creature').
'with no lead' means to remove the first letter.
'beast' with its initial letter taken off is 'EAST'.
'makes' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for east that I've seen before include "Bearing of 90 degrees" , "English region" , "Compass point at 90 degrees" , "Where the sun rises" , "Asia" .)
