Moon Mouse

The Moon Mouse was an alien who fell to earth in Viking times. The alien like to eat moon daises. His spaceship is powered by soap flakes, vinegar and oil.

The Moon Mouse resembles a Clanger, although he appeared first. He comes from the moon so he doesn't live on the same planet as the clangers.

There are many possibilities: Anyway you put it, the Moon Mouse is still believed to be the first appearance of the Clangers.
 * The Clangers moved to their present planet between Viking times and now
 * He's sub-species of the Clangers, who lives on a different planet
 * He moved to the Moon
 * There's no connection at all
 * He's not cannon to the Clangers universe
