First appearance The Leisure Hive

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 something. ... A tachyon (from the Greek takhús, meaning swift, fast) is any hypothetical particle that travels at superluminal velocity. ...


In appearance, Argolin are humanoids with yellowish skin. Their heads are covered with what appears to be elaborately coiffed hair, but may not be (since when Pangol is reduced to infancy he retains the distinctive Argolin hairstyle). Their heads are capped with small domes covered in beads, which fall off when the Argolin become sick or die.


Argolins also appear in the Seventh Doctor story, Dragonfire as one of the patrons of the cafe on Iceworld.

The Carrionites, as seen in "The Shakespeare Code" (2007), are a race of witch-like beings, bound to Earth and desperate to begin their new empire. They use advanced science which appears much like magic and voodoo. Unlike humans, who use numbers, maths and science to advance and split the atom, the Carrionites use words to manipulate the universe and defy physics. In the "old" times of the universe, they were banished through powerful words by the Eternals, but three were later freed by William Shakespeare's words in a period of madness following the loss of his son, Hamnet. They attempted to use the Globe Theatre to amplify a "spell" which would free the rest of the Carrionites and return the universe to the ways of "blood and magic", but were banished once more by Shakespeare's words. In Tudor London before the Carrionites were brought onto the Earth there were only three Carrionites. They were Lilith, Mother Doomfinger and Mother Bloodtide.

Since their victory, the Argolin's home planet of Argolis has been officially owned by the Foamasi government. However, the Foamasi are the only ones who would want it as, being reptiles, they can safely walk on the radioactive surface of the planet. Two saboteurs from the West Lodge (disguised as the Argolin agent Brock and his lawyer Klout) arrive to try to force the Argolins to sell the Leasure Hive to them, so they can use it as a new base for their insidious plans. However they are thwarted when a group of Foamasi, one claiming to be a member of the Foamasi government, use a web-spewing gun to ensnare them and return them back to their unnamed home planet to face justice. Some Foamasi disguise themselves as humanoids by fitting into skin-suits which are smaller than the Foamasi's own bodies.

They were also the first element of the new series that attracted attention for being "too scary". Following complaints (many of which were made by Mediawatch UK), the BBC stated that in future, episodes of that nature would be forewarned by a statement of "may not be suitable for under 8s".

The Gelth were intelligent gaseous lifeforms, blue and spectral in nature, who claimed to have lost their corporeal forms as a consequence of the Time War. They arrived on Earth via the spacetime rift at an undertaker's house in 1869 Cardiff and proceeded to take possession of recently-deceased corpses. 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 coal gas in the gas pipes common to Victorian era households.

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 sealing of the rift continued to emit radiation into the 21st century. It appeared in the episodes "Boom Town" and "Utopia" when the TARDIS parked on top of it to refuel.

As part of his final game against the Doctor, the entity known as Fenric transported the most powerful Haemovore (called the "Ancient One") through time to Viking Age Northumbria.

The Haemovores had the ability to hypnotically paralyse their victims so they could feed and drain them of blood. Not all of their victims were turned into Haemovores, although the selection process was never explained. The Haemovores were impervious to most forms of attack, surviving being shot at close range by a sub-machine gun at one point. They could be destroyed in the traditional vampire-killing fashion of driving a stake through their chests. They could also be repelled by their victim's faith, which formed a psychic barrier, like the Doctor's faith in his companions, Ace's faith in the Doctor, Captain Sorin's faith in the Communist Revolution, and even the Reverend Wainwright's failing faith in God.

Ultimately, the Seventh Doctor convinced the Ancient One to turn against Fenric, and it released the toxin within a sealed chamber, destroying itself and Fenric's host. Whether this means that the future the Ancient One came from was averted is not clear, although the Doctor seemed to think so.

The Isolus can also draw power from others' emotions, and even when dormant the Isolus pod abosrbs all the heat it can. In the episode, the emotions surrounding the passage of 2012 Olympic Games torch were enough to recharge the Isolus pod and send it on its way back into deep space.

They serve the role of galactic police. Brutal in their application of the law, they are highly logical in their battle tactics, but not very intelligent, and as a result can be tricked by a more intelligent individual. They have no jurisdiction on Earth, and no authority to deal with human crime, so when a fugitive alien hid out in an Earth hospital they transported the building to the moon. The Judoon carry laser guns which can easily incinerate humans. In the hospital the Leader is the only one seen to remove his helmet.


During the episode, the Doctor demonstrates considerable knowledge of their intelligence and methods, and says that, whilst their behaviour is, on the surface, that of a military police force, they are little more than "interplanetary thugs". Also, according to The Doctor, the Judoon have a "great big lung reserve", meaning either their lungs are huge, or they have huge secondary lungs for storing air.


In a later interview David Tennant commented that the name Judoon and the fact that the episode they appear in is set on the moon is an in-joke from the scriptwriters. As David naturally has a Scottish accent one of the harder sounds to pronounce with an English accent is the 'oon' sound at the end of both words.

The Krillitanes are an alien race that first appeared in the 2006 episode "School Reunion". They had infiltrated the Deffry Vale comprehensive school on present day Earth, increasing the intelligence of the pupils with Krillitane oil. Using the children as part of a giant computer programme, they hoped to crack the secrets of the Skasis Paradigm, the Universal Theory that would give them control over the basic forces of the universe and turn them into gods. Their scheme was foiled by the Tenth Doctor and his companions, though not before they attempted to ask the Doctor to join them in remaking the universe. This conversation showed that the Krillitanes were aware of the Time War, of the Time Lords and of their fate. This ruse failed as miserably as the main plot of the Krillitanes.

The Krillitanes are a composite race who pick and choose physical traits they find useful from the species they conquer, incorporating them into their own bodies. When the Doctor last encountered them they looked like humans with very long necks, but by the time of "School Reunion", they possessed a bat-like form which they obtained from the conquest of Bessan ten generations prior. However, they were able to maintain a morphic illusion of human form, which could be discarded if needed. “Chiroptera” redirects here. ...


A side effect of their rapid evolution made the very oil they were using to enhance the intelligence of Deffry Vale's children toxic to their own systems, reacting with them like an acid. As bat creatures, they sleep in a way similar to Earth bats, hanging from a ceiling with wings covering their bodies. Like Earth bats, they are sensitive to loud noises, as demonstrated when they were temporarily disabled by the school's fire alarm. They are also carnivorous and have no qualms in devouring other sentient lifeforms for food.


The bat-like Krillitanes bear some resemblance to the Malevilus, powerful aliens who established a Roman Empire on a parallel Earth that eventually conquered the galaxy, from the Doctor Who Weekly comic strip story Doctor Who and the Iron Legion (DWW #1-#8).

The Krynoids appeared in the 1976 Fourth Doctor story The Seeds of Doom by Robert Banks Stewart. 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 cords of its victims and can make itself telepathically sympathetic to humans. Fully grown Krynoids are many meters high and can then release hordes of seed pairs for further colonisation. Image File history File links Krynoid. ...

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.

The Macra first appeared in the 1967 Second Doctor story The Macra Terror by Ian Stuart Black. They are an intelligent, giant crab-like species from an unnamed planet colonised by humanity in the future (it is likely that it is in the same galaxy as "New Earth). 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 cords, 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 Macra returned to the Doctor Who universe 40 years later in the 2007 episode "Gridlock". In the episode, some Macra are found to be alive on the surface of New Earth below New New York. Here they could survive the main motorway's toxic atmosphere and thus they come into conflict with the Tenth Doctor. They live in the thick fog of exhaust gases at the bottom of the city, tracking the flying cars by their lights, and snatching at them when they get too close. The Doctor says that the species is billions of years old and once developed a mighty empire as "The Scourge Of This Galaxy", but the Macra beneath New New York have apparently devolved into nothing more than feral, curious beasts.

Peaceful and kindly by nature, the Menoptra move in a unique, stylised way and their vocal inflections are stilted. They were very welcoming of the First Doctor, Ian, Barbara, and Vicki; but showed an animosity towards their fellow insectoids, the Zarbi, as well as an abhorrence for the Animus, a hostile alien intelligence that had taken over the originally passive Zarbi and almost all of Vortis. Once it was clear that the Doctor was willing to help them defeat the Animus, they were only too glad to assist in any way they could.

First appearance "The Impossible Planet"

The Ood are a humanoid species with coleoid tentacles on the lower portions of their faces. In the distant future, the Ood are a slave race to humanity, performing menial tasks, and it is claimed that every human has an Ood servant. The Ood offer themselves for servitude willingly, having no goals of their own except to be given orders and to serve. It is also claimed that they cannot look after themselves, and if they do not receive orders, they simply die. However, mention is made of a group called the "Friends of the Ood" who are apparently lobbying for Ood freedom. The Impossible Planet is an episode in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. ...

The Ood require a translator device, a small sphere connected to their "mouths" by a tube, to facilitate speech between them and humans. There appears to be no gender differentiation among the Ood, and they say they require no names or titles as they are "one", but they do have designations such as "Ood 1 Alpha 1". The Ood are empaths, sharing among themselves a low-level telepathic communication field, rated at "Basic 5" (with "Basic 30" being the equivalent of screaming and "Basic 100" meaning brain death). Not to be confused with Pity, Sympathy, or Compassion. ... Telepathy, from the Greek τῆλε, tele, remote; and πάθεια, patheia, to be effected by, describes the hypothetical transfer of information on thoughts or feelings between individuals by means other than the five classical senses. ...


According to the Official Doctor Who Annual 2007 the Ood live on a planet in the Horsehead Nebula where they were governed by a Hive Mind but it was destroyed by Human colonists. According to the monster book Creatures and Demons, published in 2007, it says they come from the "Ood Sphere", close to the "Sense Sphere" planet, home to the Sensorites, who share a similarity with the Ood. With no hive mind the Ood offered themselves to the Human colonists and became a slave race. If they are not given orders, as Danny says, they pine away, and die. The Horsehead Nebula (also known as Barnard 33 or IC 434) is a dark nebula in the Orion constellation. ... The Sensorites is a serial in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was first broadcast in six weekly parts from June 20 to August 1, 1964. ...


When encountered by the Tenth Doctor and Rose Tyler in "The Impossible Planet", a large number of Ood accompanied a human-led expeditionary force on the planet Krop Tor, orbiting a black hole. The empathic nature of the Ood seemed to make them susceptible to psychic possession by the Beast, who formed the Ood on the base into his "Legion". While possessed, the Ood 'zapped' and killed two human security guards by throwing their translation spheres at them.

The Ood were defeated when Danny Bartok, the expedition member in charge of them, broadcast a telepathic flare which reduced their field to "Basic Zero", creating a "brainstorm" which caused them to collapse. However, the telepathic field began to reassert itself after a time. When Krop Tor was sucked into the black hole, the Doctor was unable to save any of the Ood on the base, who had been freed of the Beast's control, and all of them perished. It is unknown if the Ood on Earth, which were seen in "The Impossible Planet"'s Tardisode, were influenced by the Beast's control, or not.

However, they have numerous arms and appear to "hop" in a stylised way (although whether or not they actually have legs is unclear).

The Racnoss were an ancient race of aliens from the Dark Times of the universe. Half-humanoid, half-arachnid in appearance, they were an invasion force who consumed everything on the planets they conquered (they were always insatiably hungry, even at the moment of birth). Their race was wiped out by the Fledgeling Empires, including (and judging by the Empress's anger and fear at the mention of Gallifrey, in particular) the ancestors of the Time Lords, over 4.6 billion years ago. Nearly all of the survivors of the race escaped in their ship to where the Earth would later form, serving in place of a planetesimal as its core, hibernating for billions of years, with the exception of their Empress. She would later come to Earth in her ship, the Webstar, seeking to use the Huon particles which had been recreated by the Torchwood Institute as a means of resurrecting her "children" before feasting on the human population of Earth.

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. The Reapers are apparently extradimensional, materialising and dematerialising out of the spacetime vortex. They are attracted to temporal paradoxes that damage time, like bacteria swarming around a wound. They then proceed to "sterilise" the wound by consuming everyone in sight. Suborders Pterodactyloidea Rhamphorhynchoidea * Pterosaurs (, from the Greek πτερόσαυρος, pterosauros, meaning winged lizard, often referred to as pterodactyls, from the Greek πτεροδάκτυλος, pterodaktulos, meaning winged finger ) were flying reptiles of the clade Pterosauria. ...

Once in this dimension, however, they can be blocked by material barriers. The older the barriers, the more effective they are, but even the oldest of barriers cannot stop them forever. Paradoxes can also allow them to directly materialise at the spot of the paradox. If the timeline is restored, they vanish, with their actions reversed as if they had never happened.


In "Father's Day", 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.

The Selachians were created and used exclusively by Steve Lyons in two Second Doctor novels, The Murder Game and The Final Sanction. 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.

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.


According to a write-up by Russell T. Davies on the BBC website, the Sycorax (whose individual lifespan is over 400 years) originated on an asteroid in the distant JX82 system, known as the Fire Trap. They were uplifted when a spaceship crashed on their asteroid and the Sycorax Leader enslaved the survivors, forcing the aliens to teach them about their technology. The asteroid was then retrofitted into the first of many spaceships, which the Sycorax then used to raid other planets, becoming feared interstellar scavengers (this reputation is made clear in their attitude to other 'inferior' races. The Sycorax leader comments to Rose that he would not 'dirty his tongue' with her language, and their translated word for 'human' can also be taken to mean 'cattle'). Their armada is permanently in orbit around the Jewel of Staa Crafell. Russell T Davies, interviewed for the documentary series Doctor Who Confidential in 2005. ... In science fiction, biological uplift is a common but by no means universal term for the act of an advanced civilization helping the development of another species by bringing a non-sapient one into sentience, or by giving a sapient one spacefaring capabilities. ...


In The Doctor Who Files books, the name of the Sycorax homeworld is given as "Sycorax". It is unclear if this is another name for the Fire Trap. Like all Doctor Who spin-off media, its canonicity in relation to the television series is unclear. This article or section does not cite its references or sources. ...


Futhermore, after the destruction of the Fire Trap, the Sycorax spread further through the galaxy, and like humans are one of three species that continually survive and adapt, even unto the End of the Universe.


The name Sycorax is used in William Shakespeare's play The Tempest, a witch who was the mother of the beast Caliban. It is also the name of one of the moons of Uranus, all of which are named after Shakespearean characters. The Shakespearean name is referenced in the third series episode The Shakespeare Code when the Doctor finds a horse's skull in The Globe's prop cupboard. He comments that it "Reminds [him] too much of the Sycorax". Shakespeare remarks he likes the sound of the word, obviously then going on to use it in The Tempest.

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 upside-down in a cavern. They feed off a dark red-coloured sludge that the Lakertyan leader releases down a chute into a trough.


Tetraps possess limited intelligence, but they 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.

Varga Plants grew naturally on the Daleks' homeworld, Skaro, and when the Daleks set up a base on the planet Kembel they brought some Varga plants with them to act as sentries in the jungle surrounding their base. They were suited to this as they could move around freely by dragging themselves along with their roots.

This grisly fate happened to astronauts Jeff Garvey and Gordon Lowery, and their commander, Marc Cory, was forced to kill them.


The plants later made an appearance in the Big Finish audio I, Davros: Purity. In this, it was revealed that the Varga plants were one of the oldest species on Skaro, but for most of their history had been immobile. Since the start of the Kaled-Thal war however, exposure to radiation and chemical weapons had caused them to rapidly evolve into a much deadlier form, capable of self-locomotion. It was this discovery that caused Davros to become interested in genetically engineering creatures in order to create weapons of war.

Home planet Unknown
First appearance "Blink"

The Weeping Angels are a group of hunters featured in the Tenth Doctor episode "Blink". Because their physiology is quantum-locked (see Schrodinger's Cat), they take the form of stone angels when being observed, covering their eyes with their hands and arms to prevent themselves looking at each other: this gives the impression that they are 'weeping'. This acts as a defence mechanism; they cannot be harmed while locked ("You can't kill a stone, but a stone can't kill you."). They can move with great speed, being fast enough to move across a street in a single blink of the eye. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ... Blink is an episode of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. ...

Blink is an episode of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. ... Schrödingers cat is a seemingly paradoxical thought experiment devised by Erwin Schrödinger that attempts to illustrate the incompleteness of the theory of quantum mechanics when going from subatomic to macroscopic systems. ...


According to the Doctor, the Angels are as old as the universe (or very nearly) but no one really knows where they come from. He also describes them as "creatures of the abstract", "the lonely assassins", and "the only psychopaths in the universe to kill you nicely", because their method of "killing" doesn't do anything of the sort: a touch sends their victims into the past to live out their lives before they were even born; the Angels then feed on the "potential energy" of the lives their victims would have lived in the present.


In the episode, a quartet of Weeping Angels strand the Doctor and his companion Martha Jones in the year 1969 when they land outside the house the Angels are seen to inhabit in order to feed off the vast potential energy reserves of the TARDIS. Despite dispatching the Doctor, the group of four Angels fail to get into the TARDIS; though they get the key, they can't find the machine itself. Sally Sparrow takes the key from one of their number's hand while it was quantum-locked, leading them to stalk Sally to regain it. During their pursuit, Sally inadvertently leads them to the TARDIS. As Sally pieces together the story from easter eggs hidden in the only 17 DVDs she owns, the Angels chase her to the basement of the building with her friend's brother Laurence, where the Angels have hidden the TARDIS. Sally and Laurence hide inside the TARDIS to escape the Angels, which then dematerialises when a pre-set protocol is activated by an easter egg DVD in Laurence's possession. The Angels, having surrounded the TARDIS, are left looking at each other when the box disappears, permanently quantum-locked. Martha Jones is a fictional character played by Freema Agyeman in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. ...

Home planet "Andromeda"
First appearance The Ark in Space

The Wirrn are an insectoid race that made their debut in the 1975 Fourth Doctor story The Ark in Space. The name is sometimes spelled Wirrrn, which is a spelling originating from the novelisation of the story. Image File history File linksMetadata St--4c74. ...

The Ark in Space is a serial in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was first broadcast in four weekly parts from January 25 to February 15, 1975. ...


The Wirrn claim to have originated from Andromeda (whether they meant the galaxy, the constellation, or even a planet named "Andromeda" is unclear), but were driven into space by space settlers. They are dark green and wasp-like in appearance and live mostly in space, although their breeding colonies are terrestrial. Their bodies are a self-contained system, their lungs being able to recycle waste carbon dioxide and only needing to touch down occasionally on planetary bodies for food and oxygen. 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 Wirrn larva is like a green slug-like creature, sometimes a few inches across, and sometimes 1 or 2 meters. 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.

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 of life processes by external means without termination. ...

First appearance Time-Flight

The Xeraphin were an ancient species encountered by the Fifth Doctor in the story Time-Flight by Peter Grimwade. Originating from the planet Xeriphas, they possessed immense psychokinetic and scientific powers. The Doctor believed the race to have been wiped out during the crossfire during the Vardon/Kosnax war. Instead, the entire race fled to Earth in an escaping spacecraft. The ship crashed near present day Heathrow some 140 million years ago. When the Xeraphin emerged they built a Citadel to mark their new home but the Xeraphin were so plagued with radiation that they abandoned their original humanoid bodies and transformed into a single bioplasmic gestalt intelligence within a sarcophagus at the heart of the Citadel. Image File history File links Xeraphin. ... The Master is a recurring character in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. ...

Radiation as used in physics, is energy in the form of waves or moving subatomic particles. ... Look up gestalt in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ...


The arrival of the Master coincided with their emergence from the gestalt state when the radiation effects had subsided, and his influence caused the emergence of a split personality of good and evil, each side competing for their tremendous power while yearning to become a proper species once again. The Master, who was stranded on Earth at the time too, succeeded in capturing the Xeraphin as a new power source for his TARDIS. However, the Doctor's intervention meant his nemesis' TARDIS was sent to Xeriphas where events became out of his control. The Master is a recurring character in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. ... The current TARDIS prop as seen at BBC Wales reception in 2005 The TARDIS[1][2] is a time machine and spacecraft in the British science fiction television programme Doctor Who. ...


Before fleeing Xeriphas and the Xeraphin, the Master took with him Kamelion, a Xeraphin war weapon with advanced shape-changing abilities dependent on the will of its controller. Kamelion was freed from the Master and joined the Doctor's TARDIS crew in The King's Demons.
