Clangers

Baby Soup Dragon was brought into the Clangers' world when the Soup Dragon became broody which meant the Clangers could not get any soup.

After the Clangers retrieve him and clean him up, he appears to be still in shock then begins to run around again in panic, at which point he accidentally runs himself into orbit around their planet.
