Monsters

Cybermen

Steel giants with the strength of ten men, the Cybermen were originally human beings, before their weak mortal flesh was replaced with metal and plastic. In the process they lost their compassion, as well as all their other emotions.

The Ice Warriors

The Ice Warriors are a mighty race hailing from Mars, the Red Planet. They are intelligent, powerful individuals and the Doctor has faced them at their most ruthless as they tried to wrestle Earth from humanity

The Great Intelligence

The Great Intelligence is a deadly parasite – a malevolent force lacking corporeal form that uses human beings as its servants, sometimes willingly, but often against its victim’s wishes.

Doctor Simeon

Doctor Simeon appeared to be the Great Intelligence’s most important human servant and his devotion was absolute.

Weeping Angels

Also known as the Lonely Assassins, these aliens could only attack their targets if you took your eyes off them.

The Shakri

The Doctor believed that the Shakri were a myth, a fiction to keep ‘the young of Gallifrey in their place’. But the Shakri exist: enigmatic, powerful and ruthless slaves to the Tally.

The Gunslinger

If you ever visit Mercy, as you near the town take a moment to scan the craggy hills and plains that surround it. That figure in the distance might just be a tourist, like you. Or maybe, just maybe, it’s the Gunslinger…

Solomon

The Doctor has met many vile and brutal monsters during his travels but there was something chilling in Solomon’s total disregard for life – something so unspeakable that even the Doctor appeared unmoved by his terrible fate after leaving the Silurian ship.

Daleks

These monsters are the Doctor’s ultimate enemy. Their outer shell is battle armor, inside which lurks a hideous mutant from your worst nightmares.

Vampires

There really are vampires, the Doctor’s met them. But the vampires of Venice are something else: sea-dwelling refugees from the destroyed world of Saturnyne.

Smilers

Featured in the episode The Beast Below.’ the Smilers are androids, mounted in booths all across the space faring version of Britain that left Earth in the 29th Century.

Prisoner Zero

Prisoner Zero is one of an inter-dimensional multi-form species, who, having created a psychic link to a living but dormant creature, can then copy the appearance of that creature or of anything they dream about.

The Teselecta

The Teselecta is one of the most remarkable pieces of engineering the Doctor has ever encountered. A vehicle that can be shape-shifted into any form, it’s operated by a miniaturized crew of 421, maintained in that state by a compression field.

Peg Dolls

The Peg Dolls inhabited the dollhouse in George’s cupboard. But these were no ordinary dolls.

Handbots

A great deal about these robots remains a mystery, but they are not evil creatures. Automated robots who run the Twostreams Facility on Apalapucia, they are relentless and determined to carry out their pre-programmed task no matter what.

Minotaur

The Minotaur is a creature guarding the God Complex. As much a prisoner as those it pursues within its holographic prison, the Minotaur feeds off the ‘faith’ of its victims—what they strongly believe in.

The Siren

The Siren, using reflective surfaces as portals, was able to board the 17th-century pirate ship. She identified the ill and the injured and took skin samples from them.

The Ood

Ood are a peaceful race, sophisticated and wise, and loyal friends of the Doctor. However, when they are taken over and controlled by evil entities they become monstrous creatures, acting against their instinct with lethal intent!

The Gangers

Gangers were developed to work in environments too dangerous for people. Controlled remotely by a human operator they soon saved lives and money and most believed a Ganger was simply a tool, little more than a fork-lift truck.

Sontaran

Sontarans thrive on combat and delight in warfare. To them, there is no greater honour than being killed in battle. Short, squat, muscular and grey, their leathery faces exude menace.

Silurians

The Silurians (Homo reptilia) were Earth’s first intelligent inhabitants, cold-blood reptilians with a lifespan of over three centuries who developed a civilization at least 300 million years before human beings evolved.

Judoon

The Judoon are intergalactic enforcers clad in tough, black armor and look like a cross between a stocky human and a rhinoceros.

Headless Monks

The Headless Monks are deadly warriors, first encountered as they traded with Dorium in the Prequel to ‘A Good Man Goes to War.’

The Silence

The Silence have been on Earth since the dawn of time, manipulating mankind’s development for their own purposes.
