Legendary hunter mounting leopard or minotaur hides (6)
I believe the answer is:
nimrod
'legendary hunter' is the definition.
'nimrod' can be an answer for 'hunter' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'legendary' bit.
'mounting leopard or minotaur hides' is the wordplay.
'mounting' says the letters should be written backwards (in a down clue, letters mount or go up).
'hides' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'dormin' is hidden in the letters of 'leopard or minotaur'.
'dormin' reversed gives 'NIMROD'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nimrod that I've seen before include "9th Enigma Variation" , "Mighty Biblical ruler, said to have built Tower of Babel" , "Biblical hunter - aircraft" , "Elgar Enigma variation; D minor (anag.)" , "'Mighty Biblical ruler, builder of the Tower of Babel (6)'" .)
