Racket made by creature (3)
I believe the answer is:
bat
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'racket' is the first definition.
(I know that bat is a type of racket)
'creature' is the second definition.
(bat is a kind of creature)
'made by' is the link.
(Other definitions for bat that I've seen before include "Wooden implement for cricket" , "Night-flyer" , "Club used in cricket" , "Small mammal or cricket striker" , "Small winged mammal, may be vampire" .)
