Despite everything one finds legendary creature (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yeti

'legendary creature' is the definition.
(yeti is a kind of legendary creature)

'despite everything one' is the wordplay.
'despite everything' becomes 'yet' ('yet' means 'in spite of everything' or 'still').
'one' becomes 'I' (Roman numeral).
'yet'+'i'='YETI'

'finds' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for yeti that I've seen before include "Creature of disputed existence" , "Anthropoid cryptid" , "Himalayan monster?" , "elusive character" , "The Abominable Snowman in Tibetan" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
