Minor characters from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

There are many minor characters in the various versions of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams. In fact, defining a major character is rather difficult. If the major characters are those the plot focuses on, they are Arthur Dent, Ford Prefect, Zaphod Beeblebrox, Marvin and Trillian, with the possible inclusion of Slartibartfast, Prostentic Vogon Jeltz, Random Dent and Fenchurch. If they are defined as characters appearing in all the books, they are only Ford Prefect and Arthur Dent. In this case, the definition of major characters will be those in the series with major plot significance not appearing on this list.

Oolon Colluphid

Oolon Colluphid is the author of several books on religious and other philosophical topics. Colluphid's works include:

• Where God Went Wrong
• Some More of God's Greatest Mistakes
• Who Is This God Person Anyway?
• Well That About Wraps It Up for God
• Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Guilt But Have Been Too Ashamed To Find Out
• Everything You Never Wanted To Know About Sex But Have Been Forced To Find Out

Colluphid is also shown as the author of the book The Origins of the Universe in the first part of the Destiny of the Daleks serial of Doctor Who. The titular Doctor scoffs that he "got it wrong on the first line." The reference was inserted by Douglas Adams, who was at the time working as the show's script editor. Some believe Oolon is based on Adams' friend Richard Dawkins.
