Gathering coils were engineered biotech weapons, described as a "semi-species" by the Thirteenth Doctor.

Characteristics[[edit] | [edit source]]

These coils resembled cables and wires of various sizes, acting like tentacles, which could gather data. At least some coils also had the ability to plant DNA bombs. A number of Gathering coils were able to gather to create one large, more polyvalent creature, though such a swarm could be deactivated with a large electric shock. (PROSE: Things She Thought While Falling, TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth)
