Now one sees legendary creature (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yeti

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

'now one' is the wordplay.
'now' becomes 'yet' (I've seen this in another clue).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'yet'+'i'='YETI'

'sees' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for yeti that I've seen before include "imaginary beast?" , "It probably doesn't exist" , "Himalayan mystery" , "Tibetan creature" , "An abominable animal!" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
