Warty creature, we hear, pulled along (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

towed

'pulled along' is the definition.
(towing is a kind of pulling along)

'warty creature we hear' is the wordplay.
'warty creature' becomes 'toad' (I've seen this before).
'we hear' shows a homophone (sound like).
'toad' sounds like 'TOWED'.

(Other definitions for towed that I've seen before include "drawn" , "Pulled along" , "Dragged behind" , "Helped when powerless" , "Hauled" .)
