Before Ford Prefect was born, his father lived on Betelgeuse Seven - until the Great Collapsing Hrung Disaster. He was the only survivor on the planet. After that, he moved to Betelgeuse Five, where he fathered Ford. The kids on B5 nicknamed him Ix, which means 'Boy who cannot satisfactorily explain what a Hrung is, nor why it should choose to collapse on B7‘. But what is the Hrung? Is it mentioned in one of the other books in the series?
