- You may be looking for Metebelis III or Metebelis crystal.
"Kalacha nee-too webweb!" was Metebelin for "Gosh, it's bigger on the inside!" This was once uttered within the Doctor's TARDIS, by a "twelve-eyed spider" hailing from Metebelis III. (PROSE: The Secret in Vault 13 [+]Loading...["The Secret in Vault 13 (novel)"])

Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
This is one of many modern DWU references to Metebelis III. Jon Pertwee's Third Doctor finally making his way to that planet on-screen marked the culmination of his era.
However, the Eight Legs' language does not seem to have been discussed before. The Metebelin phrase is given a distinctive in-universe pronunciation in Sophie Aldred's audiobook reading of The Secret in Vault 13 [+]Loading...["The Secret in Vault 13 (novel)"].
