The Hole-in-the-Wall is a literal hole in the Pun Garden wall, native to the Isle of Wonder.
Background[]
Alexander can look through him and see into Chessboard Land. He is extremely shy, and will run behind some wallflowers if Alexander tries to pick him up. To reach him Alexander must distract the wallflowers by playing a song on a flute.
Once the Hole-in-the-Wall has been obtained, Alexander can use him on the side of the Castle of the Crown on the Isle of the Crown to see into the castle's basement. This is not necessary, however.
In the Catacombs of the Ancients on the Isle of the Sacred Mountain, Alexander must look through the Hole-in-the-Wall when he hears the Minotaur in the room next to him. After doing this, the Hole-in-the-Wall will escape through a crack, never to be seen again...
Personality and traits[]
The hole-in-the-wall has four legs and a curly tail. He's all limbs with only a hole for a body, but that doesn't make him any less "whole."[1]
Like everything in Pun Garden it is a living 'pun' (and it literally creates a hole in wall of any wall it is placed on[2])... It cannot be placed on anything but a wall.[3]
A bit of the wallflowers' shyness seems to have rubbed off on the hole-in-the-wall, for he remains mute.
Titles and nicknames[]
- Hole-ON-the-Wall
