Helpful Hints
- 'Head', 'tail', and 'torso' and 'blended' are our indicators - woah! Three are selection indicators, telling us which letters to select from neighbouring fodder, and the other is an anagram indicator.
- Our fodder is 'Cat', 'fish', 'pig', and 'mare'. We'll use these letters (or some of them) as directed by our indicator(s).
- This is an &lit clue, which means that the whole clue is the wordplay and the whole clue is the definition. So, our answer will somehow mean a blend of many animals. There is such a word, and you can find it by piecing together the wordplay!
