Some Icelandic creature (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eland

'creature' is the definition.
(eland is a type of antelope)

'some icelandic' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some of the parts of the word are used).
'ELAND' is hidden within 'icelandic'.

(Other definitions for eland that I've seen before include "Large spiral-horned African antelope" , "Browser" , "Largest living antelope" , "Led an (anag) -- antelope" , "One browses in the African plain" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
