Lintillas & Allitnils

Lintilla is a rather unfortunate woman who was cloned 578,000,000,000 times due to an accident with a cloning machine working for the Brantisvogan escort agency. While creating six clones of "a wonderfully talented and attractive woman named Lintilla" the machine got stuck in a loop and malfunctioned in such a way that it got halfway through completing each new Lintilla before it had finished the previous one. This meant that it was for a very long while impossible to turn the machine off without committing murder.

In order to fix the problem of 578,000,000,000 clones running around the cloning company have created the Allitnils (the anti-clones of the Lintillas). Being anti-clones, when an Allitnil comes into physical contact with a Lintilla, they both wink out of existence in a puff of unsmoke.

Along with Poodoo and Varntvar the Priest, three Allitnils arrive on Brontitall to get the three Lintillas there to "agree to cease to be". Two of the anti-clones eliminate their corresponding Lintillas, but Arthur Dent
