Just in time for the big Spring Thaw, grab your Avenging Narwhal Playset!
"The narwhal is an arctic-dwelling whale that has been called "the unicorn of the sea" due to its long pointy tusk. There is debate about the true purpose of this tusk, but finally the truth is revealed! The narwhal uses its tusk to impale the cute animals of the world, specifically baby seals, baby penguins and koalas. This 5-1/2" long, hard vinyl narwhal comes with four magic tusks (crystal, onyx, ruby and ice) to impale the three 1-1/2" long, soft vinyl cuties. Don't let cute overrun the world, fight back with your own Avenging Narwhal!"(emphasis mine)

If you ask me, this little invention misses out on the absolutely best use for a plastic narwhal.
A "Peep" dispenser.
Especially this time of year, when we're overrun by the little marshmallowey guys, what better way could there be to present some dessert peeps to your guests?

No wonder that narwhals are endangered; they probably can't find enough "arctic-dwelling" penguins and koalas to keep themselves properly fed.
BTW, it is sad that the author of that felt that not enough people would get the penguins joke, so had to add in koalas to send it over the top.
