Crossword Genius

Bad-tempered friend of Mole (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ratty

This clue is a double definition.

'bad-tempered' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'friend of mole' is the second definition.
(I know this)

(Other definitions for ratty that I've seen before include "water vole, literally" , "One messing about in a boat" , "Short" , "Irritable (informal)" , "Character created by Kenneth Grahame" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
