We are not alone!!!

There is a web site called the Myrth Museum that has a page about staying a lert. Here are their comments regarding this image,

"Webfoot finds it difficult to stay on a Lert for very long, since Lerts are sharp and spiny creatures and can be uncomfortable in close quarters. They are endowed with long snouts to help them keep track of whatever is going on around them and their spines act as miniature antennae. They are very good scouts and sources for information, but have rather prickly personalities and are easily crossed. Of course, the pufflings sometimes find themselves on the receiving end of a sharp (literally) rebuke, for their naturally high spirits can lead them to say things (unintentionally, of course) that cause the sensitive Lerts consternation.
