Shockeye o' the Quawncing Grig was an Androgum cook aboard Space Station Camera. He had a yearning for human flesh, and tried several times to kill and eat Jamie McCrimmon and Peri Brown.
Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]
Along with fellow Androgum, Chessene of the Franzine Grig, and scientist Dastari, Shockeye allied with a legion of Sontarans, including Group Marshal Stike and Major Varl, to kill all aboard the space station but them. They then travelled to 20th century Spain and devised a plan to use the research from Camera to uncover the secret of time travel.
When the Second Doctor was temporarily transformed into an Androgum, Shockeye killed a lorry driver to acquire his vehicle and brought the Doctor to Las Cadenas, a restaurant managed by Oscar Botcherby and his girlfriend Anita in Seville. After eating an enormous meal and running up a bill of 81,600 pesetas, Shockeye promised to pay with a twenty-narg note, but Oscar refused. Enraged, Shockeye stabbed him to death with a meat knife.
Later, back at the house, Chessene allowed Shockeye to take the captured Jamie to the kitchens to be eaten. When the Sixth Doctor escaped the group's capture, Shockeye was commanded to postpone the killing and chase him down. The Doctor used some cyanide left by Oscar when he was hunting moths to smother Shockeye and kill him. (TV: The Two Doctors)

Shockeye had ginger hair and wrinkly grey skin with wart-like growths, broad shoulders and thick legs. Jamie McCrimmon believed that he was one of the ugliest aliens he had encountered to that point. (PROSE: The Two Doctors [+]Loading...["The Two Doctors (novelisation)"])
