I read this as interloper. What's an extraloper?

An interloper being someone who intrudes or meddles in a situation (inter "between or amid) + loper "to leap or run" - https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/loper ), an extraloper would be someone who dances or leaps around the outside of a subject or meeting with similar annoyances.

Opposite of "inter-" is "intra-".

Intraloper, weirdly enough, is a word in use.
