Argolin The Argolin, who appeared in the Fourth Doctor story The Leisure Hive (1980) by David Fisher, are the inhabitants of Argolis. In 2250, the Argolin, led by Theron, fought and lost a 20-minute nuclear war with the Foamasi. As a result of this war, the Argolin became sterile. They were also quite long-lived, but when they neared the end of their life they aged and declined very rapidly. The Argolin who survived the war put aside their race's traditional warlike ways and remade Argolis as "the first of the leisure planets", catering to tourists from many worlds. They built a "Leisure Hive" dedicated to relaxation and cross-cultural understanding; due to radioactive fallout from the war, the Argolin planned to live in the Hive for at least three centuries. Argolis continued to struggle financially, and by 2290 faced possible bankruptcy. A rogue faction of Foamasi known as the West Lodge attempted to purchase the entire planet to use as a criminal base, sabotaging recreation facilities in order to encourage the Argolin to sell. The criminal nature of the offer was exposed by a Foamasi agent, aided by the Fourth Doctor and Romana. Image File history File links Argolin. ...

Since the Argolin were sterile, they attempted to renew their race using cloning and tachyonics, but only one of the clones, Pangol, survived to adulthood. Pangol was mentally unstable and obsessed with the Argolin's former warrior culture. He attempted to create an army of tachyonic duplicates of himself, but was unsuccessful and was eventually restored to infancy through the same tachyonic technology that had created him. Cloning is the process of creating an identical copy of an original. ...

They are a reptilian species from a planet neighbouring Karfel and were only ever depicted on screen via a monitor link, so their size and overall body shape is unclear. The Bandrils were a generally peaceful but highly developed species dependent on grain exports from Karfel to feed their population and for many years a trade agreement provided them with food. However, with the rise of the Borad (or Megelen) as dictator of Karfel, the trade agreement was severed and a famine began amongst their population. The Bandrils attempted to use diplomacy to repair the situation but when this failed they declared war on Karfel and fired a deadly bendalypse warhead against the planet. The Doctor intervened to deflect the warhead and, having deposed and disposed of the Borad, he helped the Karfelons rebuild relations with their Bandril neighbours and end the state of war.

The Cryons were biologically adapted to live in conditions of extreme cold. Indeed, heat is deadly to them. When the climate of Telos warmed, the Cryons moved into colder regions underground and built vast refrigerated cities. After the destruction of Mondas in 1986, the surviving Cybermen evacuated to Telos and seized the refridgerated cities for transformation into cryogenic tombs in which to hibernate and rebuild. The indigenous Cryons were subject to a systematic genocide, with the few that remained hiding deep in the tombs and launching sporadic acts of sabotage with no chance to overthrow the Cybermen. To repair their situation they recruited the mercenary Lytton and promised him riches if he were to make it to Telos and steal the time machine captured by the Cybermen. Their aim was to get him to change history and prevent the Cybermen ever coming to Telos by ensuring Mondas was not destroyed. However, the Doctor helped destroy CyberControl and so presumably directly aided the Cryons in their fight for survival. Genocide is defined by the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (CPPCG) article 2 as any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, as such: Killing members of the group; Causing...

The Dominators were an aggressive, warlike race who claimed to be the masters of ten galaxies. They operated a rigid hierarchy with "Probationer" being the lowest rank of Dominator encountered, "Navigator" an intermediate rank, and "Fleet Leader" (never seen) a senior position. Dominator civilisation also seems to have made use of slave forces to help keep their empire expanding, and the Dominators were also keen to apply scientific analysis to the usefulness of subject races for possible use in slave operations.

They were also heavily reliant on their robotic servants, the Quarks. However, the Quarks seemed to use vast quantities of power to operate and there was a constant pressure to conserve energy, which implied energy shortages in parts of the Dominator empire.
Their technology was at least partly based on absorption of radiation, which was the fuel source for their interstellar craft. Their ships could store vast quantities of radiation for future propulsion. With the aid of the Quarks, Dominators Rago and Toba intimidated the peaceful planet Dulkis, which they planned to turn into radioactive material as fuel source for their fleet. They were stopped by the Doctor, Jamie and Zoe. The Doctor succeeded in placing their radioactive seed pod on their departing craft and it blew up and killed the Dominator and Quark scouting party sent to Dulkis.

Originating on Drahva in Galaxy Four, they are a rigidly hierarchical species in which women are the dominant gender. The Drahvins shown in the story are portrayed as blonde and beautiful. A small number of Drahvins assume leadership roles and are concerned with conquest and empire building, having the best food and weapons.

A patrol of Drahvins was on an interplanetary survey for potential new colony worlds when it encountered a Rill craft in orbit around an unnamed planet in Galaxy 4. The Drahvins opened fire and as a result both ships became marooned on a barren and dying world. The Drahvin leader, Maaga, was so desperate to escape the planet that she blackmailed the Doctor into helping her and, when this failed, led an armed raid on the Rill craft. However, the Rills’ robot servants, the Chumblies, defend their craft long enough for the Rills to flee. Maaga and her crew are left to die with the doomed planet.

One hundred and seventy years before this second visit, the Dulcians exploded an atomic bomb on one of their islands and were so appalled by the radiation and other consequences that they totally rejected violence as a civilisation from then on. The island was naturally abandoned as anything other than a tourist and educational resort, a museum of warfare was built there and the entire place was renamed the Island of Death. Immediately prior to the Doctor's arrival, a craft containing two Dominators Rago and Toba arrived on the island and their vessel stored away the radiation for fuel. The Dominators drilled five holes into the planetary crust of Dulkis, intending to cause volcanic explosions which they would render radiocative. This was intended to transform the entire planet into fuel for their space fleet. A handful of Dulcians visting the island were caught up in the immediate attacks. The Dominators used their Quark robots to kill some of them, while others were for tests and used like slaves to help with the digging. Radiation has a variety of different meanings. ...
The rigidly hierarchical Dulcian society was depicted as class and wealth based, and overseen by a Council who occupied a temple-like building. When the governing Council of the Dulcians, under Director Senex and his deputy Bovem, were confronted with knowledge of the Dominators they decreed they should not be resisted and whatever they desired should be provided to appease them. Even the arrival of Dominator Rago at their Capitol, the execution of "man of action" Chairman Tensa, and the Dominator pledge to destroy the planet and take some Dulcians away as a mass slave force did not break this resolve. However, Senex's indolent son Cully and some other Dulcians joined the Doctor in fighting back. Ultimately it was this small alliance of friends and not the Council of Dulkis which saved the species from probable extinction when the Doctor intercepted and removed the seeding device intended to effect the transformation into radioactive fuel.
For many years a myth circulated in Doctor Who fandom that the Dulcians were gold skinned, which was difficult to detect through the black and white screening of the story.

Their forms could not be maintained for long in Earth's atmosphere and they required a gaseous medium to sustain them — gas from decomposing bodies or natural gas in the gas pipes common to Victorian era households. The Time War is an event referred to on several occasions in the 2005 series of the long running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. ...

Claiming to be on the verge of extinction, the Gelth convinced the Doctor to aid their entrance into our plane of existence via Gwyneth, the undertaker's servant girl who had developed psychic powers due to growing up near the rift. The Gelth proved instead to number in the billions and intended to take the Earth by force and murder its population to provide vessels for themselves. Ultimately, the Gelth were thwarted when Gwyneth sacrificed herself, blowing up the building and sealing the rift. Whether all the Gelth that had entered our world perished as well is unclear.
The scar left by the sealing of the rift continued to emit radiation into the 21st century. It appeared in the episode Boom Town, when the TARDIS was parked on top of it to refuel.

They were designed by the human slaves of the Tharils and used as a spearhead in the revolution which overthrew the Tharil empire. Designed with the primary purpose to resist and kill Tharils, the Gundans could travel the time winds like their prey and butchered many during the revolt. Each Gundan was armed with an axe and decorated with horns to make the robots seem more fearful. The revolt began on the day of the Great Feast, and several inert and decaying Gundans were found by the Doctor when he visited the feasting hall in the Gateway between the universes. The skeletons of their defeated enemies remained in their seats around the feasting table. The Doctor repaired the memory wafers of a Gundan to discover what had caused the decay of the Gateway.

The Sevateem evolved the Test of the Horda as a measure of justice and bravery. They kept a pit full of Horda and offered criminals the chance to redeem themselves through the Test, whereby they were gradually lowered into the pit by means of a rope. To prove innocence the accused was issued with a crossbow which had to be fired at the exact correct moment to sever the rope without them falling into the pit – which was, of course, the fate of the guilty.

They are a highly dangerous, sentient form of plant life which are renowned amongst galactic botanists. They spread via seed pods which travel in pairs and are violently hurled through space by frequent volcanic eruptions on their unnamed home planet. The pods when opened are attracted to flesh and are able to infect and mingle their DNA with that of the host, taking over their body and slowly transforming them into a Krynoid. The species can also exert a form of telepathic control over other plant life in the surrounding area, making it suddenly dangerous and deadly to animal-kind. In the later stages of development the Krynoid can also control the vocal chords of its victims and can make itself telepathically sympathetic to humans.

Two pods arrived on Earth at the South Pole during the prehistoric Pleistocene era and remained dormant in Antarctica until discovered at the end of the twentieth century. One of them hatched after being exposed to ultra-violet light, and took control of a nearby human scientist. The Fourth Doctor intervened in the nick of time and ensured the Krynoid was destroyed in a bomb, but the second pod was stolen and taken to the home of millionaire botanist Harrison Chase in England. Chase ensured the germination of the second pod, which overtook his scientific adviser Arnold Keeler, and transformed its subject over time into a virtually full-sized Krynoid. Unable to destroy the creature by other means – and with the danger of a seed release imminent from the massive plant – the Doctor orchestrated an RAF bombing raid to destroy the creature before it could germinate.

In appearance, they resemble giant vast, lumbering crustaceans with extended eyes on stalks and formidable, enormous claws. The Macra invaded the control centre of the colony and seized the levers of power without the colonists - including their Pilot - knowing what had happened. Thereafter the Macra only appeared at night, after the humans were in their quarters respecting a curfew. Lacking vocal chords, they presumably communicate by some form of telepathy and have strong hypnotic powers which can alter human perception and affect the brain. They also have the ability to ensure messages are vocalised through electronic apparatus such as television or sensor speakers. Both these tools were used to keep the human colonists suppressed and subjected on the Macra planet. The humans instead believed they were blissfully happy. This provided a cover for the Macra to use the colonists as miners in a vast gas mine. The gas produced was deadly to the miners but vital to the Macra, enabling them to move more quickly and rejuvenating their abilities. The Second Doctor effected a revolution on the Macra planet and helped an engineer an explosion in the control centre, destroying the Macra in charge and presumably dooming the species.

At the time of the visit by the First Doctor to the Space Museum, the Moroks governing the Museum are a mixture of sadistic bullies and tired administrators, reflecting sourly that the glories of the Morok empire are past. Their leader, Lobos, seems to veer between these two negative frames of mind. They use terror tactics and deadly Zaphra Gas to keep control over the indigenous Xeron population but, inspired by Vicki, the Xerons fight back and overthrow the Moroks on Xeros. By the time the TARDIS crew leaves, the Museum is dismantled, its destruction mirroring the end of the greater Morok Empire.

He appeared in the Series 1 episode, The End of the World by Russell T Davies. His speech is terse and to the point, and he greets people by means of formal spitting. As detailed in the book Doctor Who: Monsters and Villains by Justin Richards, the servo-motor in the Moxx's chair must replace his bodily fluids every 20 minutes or he will start to sweat glaxic acid. He is apparently grateful if someone points this problem out and may even reward them with a coin of "solid blick," or a song, his favourite apparently being "Yap Cap Forward Bigga Toom Toom Toom".

Two Ogri, with Cessair of Diplos (front) | | Ogri | | Type | Moving stone monoliths | | Affiliated with | Cessair of Diplos | | Home planet | Ogros in Tau Ceti | | First appearance | The Stones of Blood | The Ogri were the titular The Stones of Blood in the 1978 Fourth Doctor story by David Fisher. A silicon based life-form from the planet Ogros in the Tau Ceti system, Ogri are mute stone monoliths that resemble megalithic cromlech. They dwell in a natural habitat of amino acid swamps, feeding by absorption, but blood will do equally well. They move by dragging themselves along the ground, often at quite high speeds. Three Ogri were stolen and brought to Earth by the Cessair of Diplos (breaking Galactic Charter article 7594, under which such silicon based creatures were protected from being removed from their natural environment) in her desire to evade the justice of the Megara and avoid detection. For many centuries they formed part of a stone circle on Boscawen Moor, but they could be revived from this dormant state by the use of blood. Once awakened, they desire more blood and are capable of rampages, crushing and draining life-forms for their globulin. This active phase is illustrated by a strange glow from within. One Ogri ended up in the sea after falling from a cliff, another was blasted to atoms by the Megara, while a third was returned by the justice machines to its homeworld. In the original scripts for The Stones of Blood, the Ogri were depicted as granite-skinned humanoids who resembled stone blocks only when dormant or stationary. The Ogri have also occasionally featured in various Doctor Who spin-off novels, such as The Fall of Yquataine.

Primord | Doctor Who race |
 | | Primords | | Type | Regressed Human | | Affiliated with | None | | Home planet | Earth | | First appearance | Inferno | The Primords appeared in the Third Doctor serial Inferno by Don Houghton. They were the result of humans, including Stahlman himself, being exposed to slime that was produced as a byproduct of Professor Stahlman's Project Inferno, a scheme to penetrate the Earth's crust in search of a new energy source. In some circumstances, the infection could be transmitted if a Primord touched a human and heat would cause the transformation to progress at a more rapid pace. The creatures were never actually called Primords in the story, although they were credited as such. Primords were resistant to gunfire, and could only be killed by a rapid loss in body temperature or a massive physical trauma (such as a fall from a great height). They could be slowed down by large bursts of extreme cold such as fire extinguishers. The degree of intelligence displayed by the Primords was variable; they acted mainly on instinct, but displayed signs of organisation and tactics. They made a high pitched, screeching sound, which the Third Doctor claimed that he had heard before during the eruption of Krakatoa in 1883.

The Doctor's visit into a parallel universe where the Stahlman Project was more advanced demonstrated to him the dangers of the Earth's crust being penetrated. It set into motion a chain of events that the Doctor claimed would lead to the planet's disintegration, and a similarly infected parallel Stahlman used the slime to actively mutate workers at the project. The Doctor managed to escape back to his original reality and to stop the project before "penetration zero". The BBC Books sequel to the serial, The Face of the Enemy by David A. McIntee, later revealed that despite the Doctor's assumption, the parallel Earth had in fact not disintegrated, but the surface had been devastated beyond recovery; and implied that many survivors of the disaster had since become Primords.

The Quarks were used on Dulkis to enslave and terrorise the indigenous Dulcian population to ensure the drilling of bore holes through the planet's crust. The Dominators planned to use their technology to fire seeds down the holes which would force the core to erupt, thus providing a new fuel source for their fleet.
The Quarks were rectangular in shape, with four arms: one pair which folded into the body, the other pair being retractable. On the end of each arm was a solitary claw. The legs extended out below the Quark body. The spherical head was visibly divided into octants; the upper four octants formed the sensory hemisphere, which detected changes in light, heat and motion. At the corners of seven of the octants were directional crystal beam transmitters (the eighth corner joined with the robot's extremely short neck). Quarks communicated by means of high-pitched sound waves. Their major weakness was a tendency to run out of energy rather quickly.
The Quarks were portrayed by children (requiring them to have a chaperone whilst on set.) One Quark was also seen in the serial The War Games, while one of the children who portrayed one of the Quarks appeared as an Axon (in their humanoid guise) in The Claws of Axos.

Reapers are multi-limbed, flying reptiles similar to pterosaurs, with a large wingspan, sharp teeth both in the form of a beak and a secondary mouth in their torsos, coupled with a rapacious attitude. They are apparently extradimensional, materialising and dematerialising out of the spacetime vortex. They are summoned when a temporal paradox occurs that damages time, like bacteria swarming around a wound. They then proceed to "sterilise" the wound by consuming everyone in sight, with the oldest objects being the tastier targets. Suborders Rhamphorhynchoidea Pterodactyloidea Pterosaurs (, winged lizards, often referred to as pterodactyls, ) were flying reptiles of the clade Pterosauria. ...

Once in this dimension, however, they are physical creatures and can be blocked by material barriers. The older the barriers, the more effective they are, but the Reapers are relentless enough to be able to overcome even the oldest of barriers eventually. Paradoxes within the barrier can also allow them to directly materialise at the spot of the paradox.
In Father's Day, the paradox that summoned the Reapers was the prevention of the death of Rose Tyler's father, Pete. The Doctor explained that when the Time Lords were still around, there were laws to prevent the spread of paradoxes and that such paradoxes could be repaired. This implies that the Reapers are a natural phenomenon whose manifestation could be prevented if the paradox was resolved quickly. However, with the elimination of the other Time Lords in the last great Time War, there was no longer any agency that could repair time.

Pete eventually sacrified himself to restore the timeline. While the exact circumstances were still different, this was apparently enough, as the Reapers dematerialised and those they had killed restored with no memory of what had happened.

They had an aquatic respiratory system, highly developed linguistic skills, and spacefaring technology. They were a mercantile race not naturally given to xenophobia. However, centuries of being the objects of sport hunting made them wary of at least some races who breathe air. This gradually emphasized their latent aggression, revealing a deadly form of siege mentality. In time, they began to take decisions on the basis of what would allow them to defend through strength. For this reason, they eventually came to attack humans — a race with whom they had traditionally enjoyed a mutually beneficial trading relationship — because they saw a human colony on Terra Alpha as a potential threat.

 | | Sycorax | | Type | Humanoid | | Affiliated with | Unknown | | Home planet | Unknown | | First appearance | The Christmas Invasion | The Sycorax, who appeared in the debut Tenth Doctor story The Christmas Invasion in 2005, are a race of alien beings who attempted to enslave humanity on Christmas Day, 2006. They encountered a human space probe, Guinivere One, and discovered a sample of A+ blood. Using a system of "blood control", the Sycorax forced every human being on the planet Earth who had that blood type to stand on the roof edges of tall buildings. With one-third of the human race facing death, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Harriet Jones, was summoned to the Sycorax space ship. She was given the ultimatum: surrender the planet and half its population to slavery or those controlled would all leap to their deaths.

The Doctor allowed the Sycorax to leave the planet with the warning that it was defended, but Jones ordered the covert organisation Torchwood to destroy the retreating Sycorax ship, much to the Doctor's anger.

The Sycorax appear to be skinless humanoids wearing mantles of bone, usually keeping their features concealed under helmets. They are proficient in the use of weapons like swords and whips, the latter which can deliver an energy discharge that disintegrates the flesh of its target. Their language is called Sycoraxic.
The Sycorax also appear to have technology that is either disguised or treated as magic, referring to "curses" and the Doctor's regenerative abilities as "witchcraft". The Sycorax leader referred to an "armada" that they could use to take Earth by force if the blood control failed. They also appear to have a martial society, with traditions of honourable combat.

Tetraps have four eyes, one on each side of their head, giving them all-round vision, and put this to good use in stalking fugitives. Like bats, they sleep by hanging upide-down in a cavern. They feed off a dark red-coloured sludge that the Lakertyan leader releases down a chute into a trough.
They possess limited intelligence, but soon realise that the Rani's plans would have them all killed on Lakertya. This is confirmed when their leader, Urak, hears of her plans and she later leaves him to guard over her laboratory rather than take him with her in her TARDIS, thus condemning him to death. Urak and the enraged Tetraps capture the Rani in her ship and take her back to their home planet to force her to help solve their natural resource shortages.

As the Tharil empire and dominion crumbled, the human species began to exploit their former masters in a continuing cycle of oppression. The Tharils now became the slaves, used as forced navigators of the time winds and traded as rare and valuable commodities. Ships such as the Privateer under Rorvik which became moored in the Gateway were built of the dense dwarf star alloy to prevent the Tharils escaping. When Rorvik’s Privateer became stuck in the Gateway the Doctor and Romana befriended two Tharils, Biroc and Lazlo, and they explained the history of the Tharil race to them. The two Time Lords helped to free Tharils still trapped in the Privateer, and Romana stayed behind in the Gateway to help the Tharils build a new life based on freedom and equity.

The Wirrn's life cycle involves laying their eggs in human hosts, the larvae emerging to consume the host and absorbing their memories and knowledge. A grown Wirrn can also "infect" another person through contact with a substance it excretes, mutating them into another Wirrn and connected to their hive mind. Carbon dioxide is an atmospheric gas comprised of one carbon and two oxygen atoms. ...

In The Ark in Space, the Wirrn found Space Station Nerva in orbit around an Earth devastated centuries before by solar flares. The survivors had lain in suspended animation waiting for the planet to recover but had overslept by several millennia. They intended to use the sleepers as a food source and claim the empty Earth for their own, infecting Nerva's leader, Noah. However, Noah's human side reasserted itself and led the Wirrn into Nerva's transport ship even though he knew it was rigged to explode. It did so, ending the Wirrn threat. Suspended animation is the slowing without termination of life processes by external means. ...
