Pignardab is a god.

He takes the form of a very fat, humorless finch.

Pignardab created the planet Venus six thousand years ago.

If you believe in Pignardab, he will give you a free planet.

If you do not believe in Pignardab, he will turn you into a sparrow.

Pignardab's most sacred site is Zhelaizhai in China.
