5Damogran Frond Crested EagleLiving ThingsBirds

Damogran Frond Crested Eagle
Animal from the planet Damogran. "A government spider sidled up to him and attempted to press a copy of his prepared speech into his hands. Pages three to seven of the original version were at the moment floating soggily on the Damogran sea some five miles out from the bay. Pages one and two had been salvaged by a Damogran Frond Crested Eagle and had already become incorporated into an extraordinary new form of nest which the eagle had invented. It was constructed largely of Papier-mache and it was virtually impossible for a newly hatched baby eagle to break out of it."

6MattressLiving ThingsAnimals

Mattress
Creature from Squornshellous Zeta. "Arthur prodded the mattress nervously and then sat on it himself: in fact he had very little to be nervous about, because all mattresses grown in the swamps of Squornshellous Zeta are very thoroughly killed and dried before being put to service. Very few have ever come to life again."

Creature mentioned in the entry for towel in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. "You can wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or to avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal - a mind-boggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you - daft as a bush, but very ravenous."

8Vogon Jewelled Scuttling CrabsLiving ThingsAnimals

Vogon Jewelled Scuttling Crabs
Crabs from the planet Vogsphere. "Meanwhile, the natural forces on the planet Vogsphere had been working overtime to make up for their earlier blunder. They brought forth scintillating jewelled scuttling crabs, which the Vogons ate, smashing their shells with iron mallets, tall aspiring trees with breathtaking slenderness and colour which the Vogons cut down and burned the crab meat with, elegant gazelle-like creatures with silken coats and dewy eyes which the Vogons would catch and sit on. They were no use as transport because their backs would snap instantly, but the Vogons sat on them anyway."
