ZZ5 Plural T Pi
The planet of Shodrak 4 is famed throughout history as one of the longest running planets to support life. In earth time it has maintained the Giggitryfor race for over 863,500,000,000,000 years, and the original Quad-Shodralian race existed in the same space for over 35,000 years before. The reason this particular race died out is because of a curious knock-on effect from the original Giggitryfor spaceship to arrive from the neighbouring star system. When it landed it sent a cloud of dust flying into the air, which was inhaled by a nearby Llama. The poor creature then ran round in circles, charging into various objects including numerous trees and ferms, one of which thus malformed and was eaten by the same Llama an hour later after it had settled down for dinner. The Llama ate it, and because of the various noxious gases that had so rapidly grown inside the plant, belched and was sent streaming backwards until it hit a house in a nearby town, which subsequently collapsed, killing the owner, whose blood poisoned the soil beneath it, which was used the following year to grow crops, which then became unfortunately fatal to anyone who ate it. The Llama, now almost recovered from his previous experiences, ate one, and died. He was then eaten by a Quad-Shodralian, who sneezed, and thus the disease began. Much could be said about the lives and exploits of the Quad-Shodralian race before the time of their extinction, but compared with the Llama, they are suicidally dull.
When the first Giggitryfor crashlanded on the planet, he was amazed at how beautiful the scenery was. It was a curious blue green planet, which seems to be the most popular type in existence (This fits in rather well with the theory of the Sneezing of the Great Green Arkleseizure). He was entranced by the wonderful emerald of the grass, the brilliant sapphire of the oceans, and the spectacular ruby and orange of the forest fire his crashlanding had started. He was also quite intrigued by the four legged creature madly dashing around him.
It has often been wondered how the race became from there, as the Giggitryfors don't reproduce asexually, but it is presumed that he found some way around it.
After approximately 2,304,643,277 years, when the race had developed it's 35th legs, 28th arms and 13th and 14th heads, they decided something should be done about marriages. In short, they should have legal ones. The problem with their general biology was that each (or at least most) of their heads had individual brains, and consequently several of them actually fell in love with themselves several times over. This became a problem when it came to reproducing, but was an advantage in that they could always know when their "partner" was cheating on them.
