The Jatravartids are a race of creatures that live on Viltvodle VI. They have blue skin and fifty arms each. They are the only race of people who invented the aerosol deodorant before the wheel.[1]
The Jatravartid people believe that the entire Universe was sneezed out of the nose of the being called the Great Green Arkleseizure. Due to this belief, they live in fear of the Coming of the Great White Handkerchief.
When the Jatravartids want to leave the room, they say "Did someone hear the door crystal? I bet it's Poople. Late as usual. I better go and let him in before he fills his handkerchief."[2]
