Slimy creature pulled from mouth? (4)
I believe the answer is:
toad
'slimy creature' is the definition.
'toad' can be an answer for 'creature' (toad is a kind of creature). I'm not sure about the 'slimy' bit.
'pulled from mouth?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'from' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'tad' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for toad that I've seen before include "Hall proprietor (Grahame)" , "Dangerous driver" , "Common amphibian" , "Loathsome creature" , "Small amphibian" .)
