Lots of comments on the Narwhal being a whale, but I've also seen it listed as a large porpoise so that did not trip me up. I also have been fooled so many times that when I saw "creature with 5 letters" and 6 clues I knew there had to be a repeat letter (I got burned on "answer is 6 letters" QWERTY) since it was not stated that it was a 5 letter word.
Where I almost got tripped up was viewing the long tusk as a pole and lunging for PORE, but RALEEN just did not cut it. I agree that WINGS was a bit weak, but hey I managed to get it so I'm not complaining.
What does make me wonder is (1) IF you consider a Narwhal other than a whale and (2) IF as some legends have it they are live forever, can Matt be accused of creating a crossword for immortal porpoises? Sorry, that has been running around my head for a day or two and I got to a point where I just had to PUNt.
