Tarppom is a god.

He takes the form of a plump, dishonest horse.

Tarppom created the Sombrero Galaxy twelve years ago.

If you believe in Tarppom, he will laugh at you.

If you do not believe in Tarppom, he will jump up and down on your head until it really hurts.

Tarppom's most sacred site is Laurila in Finland.
