克拉帕沃丘斯 / Klapaucius
克拉帕沃丘斯 / Klapaucius is one of the machine constructors in 《机器人大师》 / The Cyberiad, discussed in 45.机器人大师：多希望莱姆能评价一下ChatGPT啊！. The episode presents him as 特鲁勒’s rival and counterpart, often testing Trurl’s creations, sharing royal commissions, and turning technical brilliance into comic competition.
In the N-making-machine story, his challenge pushes the machine from harmless creation into the dangerous command to create nothingness. In other stories, he joins Trurl in inventing military-intelligence schemes, handling probability dragons, and escaping or profiting from absurd technical consequences.
