Yarlgat is a god.

It takes the form of a very small, awesome cyclops-rhinoceros-snail.

Yarlgat created the Tadpole Galaxy four thousand years ago.

If you believe in Yarlgat, it will ignore you.

If you do not believe in Yarlgat, it will name a particularly small and pointless asteroid after you.

Yarlgat's most sacred site is Brancion in France.
