Is there really no other thread?  I thought this was a wonderful puzzle.  Not quite as fiendish as I expected given the setter, but still a really tough challenge.  The theme was familiar enough, although the creature itself long forgotten but, once enough evidence was assembled, it was only a Google away.  And the final PDM was witty and well-concealed, resolving an early doubt.   A perfect Listener, thanks Sabre!

The clues were on the easier side for a Sabre (which still means generally tough). I'd understood how to treat the four special clues long before identifying the creature which, for me, was the toughest part of the puzzle by far.

Thanks, Sabre.

Despite having all but two clues solved, and a significant array of letter pairs from the codings, I have not the faintest about the creature or the thematic entries. More staring required...

When I go away for a week, I rather hope for an easier puzzle on my return, as I have little time to complete it. Well, not this time - it was a classic Sabre puzzle, using every trick in the book - and a few which probably aren't - to make it difficult. The creature eventually fell, but the modified entries were very tough indeed. Thanks, Sabre!
