Delphon (species)

Delphon was a planet visited by the Doctor sometime before his third incarnation. (TV: Spearhead from Space) It had at least one sentient species, which communicated using the movement of their eyebrows. This language was also identified by the Third Doctor as "Delphon" when he demonstrated the phrase "How do you do?" in the language. (TV: Spearhead from Space, AUDIO: ...ish) This was because the Fendahl Predator, a memeovore that fed on concepts, ate their ability to communicate. (PROSE: The Taking of Planet 5) They are described as being gray creatures with two rows of red eyes runnimg down from forehead-to-chin with dark, spikey hair above each eye. (AUDIO: The Havoc of Empires) This species also found the amputation of limbs to be sexually attractive. (PROSE: Lucifer Rising)

During the diplomatic marriage between the leader of Chalnoth Hegemony and the director of the Teklarn Incorporation, the Delphon were suspected of attempted sabotaging the ceremony. This culminated in a Delphon fleet approaching Harmony Station, where the wedding was taking place. With the help of the Doctor, it was determined that the Delphon were invited to the wedding by diplomat Janus Perel, the real saboteur. (AUDIO: The Havoc of Empires)
