2014 art, a weird wiggly weasel whatchamacallit that is fairly well described as "Noodle".

It exists on the same world as the Ridgebacks, and is usually referred to as "Noodle" by offworlders, but the native Ridgeback word for it would translate most closely to "vine", as it's a flexible creature adept at climbing, and since noodles are a foreign concept to the Ridgebacks.
