Gazelle-like creature

An unnamed species of gazelle-like creatures evolved on the planet Vogsphere.

Biology
They are elegant creatures with silken fur and dewy eyes. They're not strong enough to withstand the weight of a Vogon.

Cultural significance
Vogons capture these gazelle-like creatures in order to sit on them. The creatures are not usable for transportation, since their backs snap instantly under the Vogon's weight, but the Vogons keep on sitting on them nonetheless, whether for sport, sadistic pleasure or mere stubbornness is not known.
