In case you have never encountered a Feghoot ....

In 2778, Ferdinand Feghoot landed on Dallas XIX, a previously unknown
planet. He and his crew were immediately seized by the natives,
trussed, and carried to a nearby veterinary hospital for
investigation.

Lying there in the operating theater, the horrified crew saw a
Dallasian nine feet high towering over their captain. He (the
Dallasian) was as shaggy as a Kodiak bear. From the crown of his
mushroom-shaped head grew a hand-like appendage holding a huge
hypodermic full of fuming green fluids.

They started to scream out a warning. But they suddenly stopped. Their
captain had chuckled! They stared at him open-mouthed. He grinned
back.

"No need to get scared, " said Ferdinand Feghoot. "It's just a furry
with a syringe on top."

Now to the article ....
