Pizpot Gargravarr

Pizpot Gargravarr is a fictional character from the science fiction book series The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. He appears in the second book of the series, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe. He is described to be a man whose body and mind are in a romantic relationship, one which would "likely end in divorce" according to his mind.

While his body and mind act as two separate entities, Gargravarr's mind resides on Frogstar World B as the custodian of the Total Perspective Vortex, a device that shows individuals the entire universe and their relative insignificance within it. In the story, he guides Zaphod Beeblebrox towards the Vortex, who to Gargravarr's surprise, survives the effects of the Vortex thanks to the technology of Zarniwoop.

While his mind guards the Vortex, his body resides in Frogstar World C, which (opposed to the vast almost uninhabitable wasteland that is Frogstar World B) is described as a beautiful place with wonderful fishing.

Zaphod Beeblebrox: “Hey, it really sounds bad... Couldn’t we maybe slope off to a party or something for a while, think it over?”
Pizpot Gargravarr: "For all I know, I’m probably at one. My body that is. It goes to a lot of parties without me. Says I only get in the way. Hey ho."
