Puzzle was a talking donkey, and his name suited him very well. Rather dense, he had a good heart and did what was right in the end. A friend of Shift, who abused Puzzle's trust for his own gain, Puzzle was often tricked into doing whatever Shift told him to do, even if he knew it was wrong.
[edit] False Aslan
When Shift discovered the skin of a lion in Caldron Pool, he had Puzzle retrieve it at great peril and later wear it. The loyal donkey originally didn't want to wear the skin. Nevertheless, Puzzle was tricked into imitating Aslan and Shift used him to gain control over his fellow Narnians, and later hand them over to the Calormenes. Puzzle was rescued by Jill Pole and saw the error of his ways. When the real Aslan arrived in Narnia, he had some private words with Puzzle that made his ears go down and some more words that made his ears go up. After this private discussion, he was led into Aslan's Country.
