Taran androids were intricate androids which looked exactly like the human colonists of Tara. They were created as replacements when 90% of the population died when Tara was struck by a plague. They were designed to work in the factories, but despite their uses many people on Tara didn't like them.
Similar in appearance to Kraal androids, these models' function was to look like humans, although one could be fitted with a laser weapon in its stomach.
An android of Prince Reynart was used to distract Grendel of Gracht from assassinating him with an android of Princess Strella. The android was used in Reynart's place at his coronation and the Fourth Doctor, suspecting an attempt on the Prince's life, threw a javelin that destroyed the android Strella. Later, Grendel constructed an android of Romana I to try to kill the Doctor, but K9 Mark II dispatched it. (TV: The Androids of Tara)
Braunschweiger was a Taran android, one of the few to have won their freedom. (PROSE: Mission: Impractical)
