I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'naga' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.

'munchetty finally had drama broadcast' is the wordplay.
'finally' suggests the final letters.
'broadcast' indicates anagramming the letters (letters scattered or cast around).
The final letter of 'munchetty' is 'y'.
'y'+'had'+'drama'='yhaddrama'
'yhaddrama' with letters rearranged gives 'HAMADRYAD'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for hamadryad that I've seen is " Ophidian".)
