| 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]]'')
| | The eye allowed Eugene to look back at his life, and eventually return for a short amount of time, long enough to save [[Gwen Cooper]] from a speeding car. ([[TW]]: [[Random Shoes]]) |
|
| |
|
| :''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]]'')
| | [[Henry Parker]] had a Dogon Sixth Eye is his collection. ([[TW]]: [[A Day in the Death]]) |
| | |
| :''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]]'')
