Member of the Cephalopodic Coterie (Going Once, Going Twice)
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
A "gargling" member of the Cephalopodic Coterie was one of the guests at the First Auction in Heaven. They fought for the best bid with a "wiry" technosapien right before the auctioneer, Cortalian, unveiled the most important item in the auction: the Frozen Battle of Cratosi Fields.
