The Scorchies were a species that had no form of their own but took the form of puppets that arrived on planets to destroy or enslave their populations.
Biology
After their bodies were destroyed, the Scorchies were left as incorporeal beings. The Scorchies then inhabited puppets. (AUDIO: The Scorchies)
The Scorchies naturally generated a psychic induction field, which forced those around them to sing. (AUDIO: Comeback of the Scorchies, Encore of the Scorchies)
Scorchies fed on emotion to survive. Some Scorchies lived on joy from their performances, (AUDIO: Encore of the Scorchies) while others fed on negative emotions such as disappointment and fear. (AUDIO: Comeback of the Scorchies)
History
They originated from a planet that had only recently discovered television by Professor Baffle. A species came along and destroyed the planet through television. Professor Baffle then tried to save his people, but they ended up as formless, floating between planets.
The Scorchies then divided into at least three distinct groups. The most infamous of these was a group led by Mr Grizzfizzle. Taking their revenge on the universe, they toured The Scorchies Show around the universe, hypnotising planets and then burning them. These actions led to the entire race of puppets being known as "Scorchies". (AUDIO: The Scorchies)
Another group of Scorchies were led by Maggie. They hired bad musicians to perform concerts and fed off the disappointment of the audience. Iris Wildthyme once signed an exclusive contract with them. (AUDIO: Comeback of the Scorchies)
At some point, two of the Scorchies called Mister and Missus developed humanoid bodies by 'borrowing' them. This enabled them to live like ordinary humans, but they soon realised they need a lot of mental energy to maintain and utilise the body. (AUDIO: Encore of the Scorchies)

They tried to hypnotise hundreds of audiences in New Regency Theatre to use them as source of mental energy for Mister and Missus. But when Jago and Litefoot figured out their plan, Ellie Higson burned the scorchies with fire. (AUDIO: The Wax Princess, Encore of the Scorchies)
There were automata of scorchies in Carruthers Summerton's Museum of Curiosities, in memory of this adventure. (AUDIO: The Museum of Curiosities)
