Elasto-fragmentoplast

Reproduction: A male (left) considers a female (right). This scene was accidently recorded by Professor Benayoun.

Elasto-fragmentoplast is the first variety of Quarxs discovered by Professor Benayoun. Its appearance and mating habits are most curious.

The male tends to confuse anything round for a female, hence a profusion of broken objects in houses where this creature is present 1).
