Chinese parade features (7)
I believe the answer is:
dragons
'chinese parade features' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for dragons that I've seen before include "Mythical fire-breathing monsters" , "Small tropical lizards" , "Creatures of Teutonic mythology" , "Fire-breathing creatures" , "Menacing women" .)
