Brian (The Invertebrates of Doom)
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Brian was a university student. Laura Ainsell called him a "pedantic git".
One day he and seven other students were exploring a cave. They found a Cnidarian artefact that absorbed their life forces. When they returned to the university with the artefact, they were placed in the medical wing, suffering from exhaustion.
When Mel and Ly brought Dr Leech to the medical wing, they saw that Brian and the other students were growing tentacles. Laura begged to be put in water.
Brian and the other students were cured by receiving saline drips. (PROSE: The Invertebrates of Doom)
