More recent feature of lone werewolf (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

newer

'more recent' is the definition.
('new' can be similar in meaning to 'recent')

'feature of lone werewolf' is the wordplay.
'feature of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'NEWER' is hidden in the letters of 'lone werewolf'.

(Other definitions for newer that I've seen before include "More pristine or recently invented" , "More up-to-date" , "More modern" , "Fresher or more novel" , "More recent" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
