Description

Leh Cructus is typically pictured as an old man dressed in shabby robes solving a puzzle and who cackles madly when posing a riddle. He is the mighty Higherlark who, due to a massive inferiority complex, quoted puzzles to the Ooamp in a desperate attempt to prove his superiority. He died of the palsy after one of his riddles was answered with another question, one he could not answer: "Your left or my left?"

Some of the stupidest, vaguest and most poorly thought-out puzzles and riddles of Battal are Leh Cructus' creations. The one about the swallow is especially well-known.
