Furry red Muppet (4)
I believe the answer is:
elmo
'furry red muppet' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for elmo that I've seen before include "St ----'s Fire: aura from electrical discharge" , "Puppet character" , "Fiery saint" , "Saint associated with fire" , "Saint whose "fire" occurs around masts etc" .)
