| | [[Eugene Jones]] was given a Dogon Sixth Eye as a consellation prize by Mr. [[Garret]] after losing the schools maths competition. Eugene kept the eye for years waiting for an alien to come and claim back his eye. After becoming tired of waiting for the alien to claim the eye, he decided to sell it on [[eBay]] to help his workmate go on a vacation. [[Josh]] and [[Gary]] jokingly created several eBay accounts and bidded on the eye. After a genuine buyer bid 15,000 pounds for the eye, Josh raised the bidding to 15,005.50 pounds, thinking the buyer would raise the bidding higher, no-one bid on the eye and Josh offered Eugene just 34 pounds for the eye. An angry Eugene swallowed the eye and ran away from Josh and Gary, only to be hit by a speeding car. The eye allowed Eugene to look back at his life, and eventually return for a short amount of time, enough to save [[Gwen Cooper]] from a speeding car. ([[TW]]: [[''Random Shoes'']]) |

| The '''Dogon''' were a thirteen-eyed reptilian race.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Biology==
| |
| The Dogon were a reptilian species who evolved on a world with a climate colder than that of [[Earth]]. ([[WEB]]: ''[[Torchwood website|torchwood.org.uk]]'')

|
| ===Dogon eyes===
| |
| Four of the eyes of a Dogon were for sight, six for show, but one of the other three eyes (referred to as the '''Dogon Sixth Eye''') had special abilities. ([[WEB]]: ''[[Torchwood website|torchwood.org.uk]]'')
| |
|
| |
|
| This sixth eye was located on the back of the head and was nearly the size of a golf-ball, though looking more like a shifting blue marble. This eye allowed a person to look back clearly on their life and allowed them to make better choices, especially if ingested. Oddly enough, [[Eugene Jones]] steadily gained more physical contact with the world after swallowing a sixth eye and then dying. He was able to influence the mind of [[Gwen Cooper]] and eventually became corporeal and seemed to float into an afterlife. ([[TW]]: ''[[Random Shoes]]'')
| | [[Henry Parker]] had a dogon Sixth Eye is his collection. ([[TW]]: [[''A Day in the Death'']]) |
| | |
| :''What the other two eyes could do is unknown, though Dr. [[Rajesh Singh]] believed they also had special powers.''
| |
| | |
| ==History==
| |
| The Dogons developed space travel at some point during their history and occasionally travelled to [[Earth]], first visiting it at least in [[1666]] at the time of the [[Great Fire of London]], usually leaving behind their so-called Sixth Eyes. ([[WEB]]: ''[[Torchwood website|torchwood.org.uk]]'')
| |
| | |
| In the [[1980s]], Mr [[Garret]] found a Dogon Sixth Eye while golfing. He later gave it to [[Eugene Jones]] as a consolation prize for a science competition. ([[TW]]: ''[[Random Shoes]]'')
| |
| | |
| :''Though unstated, it is likely that the eye came to Earth via [[the Rift]].''
| |
| | |
| In [[2005]], a Dogon spaceship with a crew of twenty crashed in the river [[Humber]] and were studied by the crew of [[Torchwood 1]]. After the [[Battle of Canary Wharf]], Dogon Sixth Eyes appeared on [[eBay]] and became very popular in [[Belgium]]. ([[WEB]]: ''[[Torchwood website|torchwood.org.uk]]'')
| |
| | |
| In [[2007]], [[Eugene Jones]] decided to sell his Dogon eye on eBay. His friends [[Gary]] and [[Josh]] planned to buy the eye and resell it at a greater price. When they tried to take the eye by force, Eugene swallowed it and ran away. Though he was later killed, the eye brought him back as a [[ghost]]-like being, allowing him to help [[Gwen Cooper]] investigate his death. ([[TW]]: ''[[Random Shoes]]'')
| |
| | |
| The collector [[Henry Parker]] also had a Dogon eye. ([[TW]]: ''[[A Day in the Death]]'')
