Gorta

Gorta, a Dopterian

The Dopterians were an unscrupulous humanoid species found throughout the Alpha Quadrant.

They were distant relatives of the Ferengi, with which they shared an inablility to be read by telepathic species such as Betazoids. (TNG: "Firstborn"; DS9: "The Forsaken")

Dopterians also shared an unusual resemblance to the Kobheerian species; their appearance was almost identical, but Dopterians had Ferengi-like noses, whereas Kobheerians had two large, elongated flat nostrils in the place of a nose.
