Organised cremation for hybrid creature (9)

I believe the answer is:

manticore

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

'hybrid creature' is the definition.
'manticore' can be an answer for 'creature' (I have seen 'Fabulous animal' mean 'manticore' so perhaps 'animal' could also mean 'manticore'). I am not sure about the 'hybrid' bit.

'organised cremation' is the wordplay.
'organised' indicates anagramming the letters.
'cremation' anagrammed gives 'MANTICORE'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for manticore that I've seen before include "Fabulous animal" , "Mythical stinging beast" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
