Yet even here, intelligent life has risen. The Guddles are perhaps the strongest and hardiest race in the galaxy, evolved to withstand the incredible hardships of their homeworld. Guddles are marvels of adaptation. They have carapaces capable of shielding them from small meteors and breath through their suction mouth feet which can grip the ground and hold them in place during the violent rock hurling storms of Golgafrinchen. Guddles are all born female, but once every generation they gather on the highest ground and begin a ritual known as greaping. Weighing fully 20 tons in their high gravity, the Guddles begin lifting their front segments off the ground. Only the very strongest and lightest of the Guddles are capable of a full greap, lifting their first 3 segments completely vertical. Those few who succeed will go through a metabolic change induced by the physiological strain of the full greap and become male. This transformation is accompanied by a pigment change from the normal dull purple and brassy coloration to a brilliant golden hue. The Golden Guddle Greaper now needs all his strength to father the next generation of Guddles. Because he is also the lightest in weight of the Guddles he won't crush the females in the process.
