===Early history===


The Blathereen were once a major family on [[Raxacoricofallapatorius]], until the rise of [[Slitheen]]; sometime before then, an inter-clan marriage had taken place. They were generally benevolent and content with middle management, though the Slitheen-Blathereen offshoot considered them weak and feeble.([[SJA]]: ''[[The Gift (The Sarah Jane Adventures)|The Gift]]'') The Blathereen were not evil&nbsp;like their cousins The Slitheen, and hunted them down. It wasnt untill the 25th century they became criminals.
Regarding their [[taste]] in [[cuisine]], [[Slitheen Delta|one Slitheen]] observed that the Blathereen were content with "a lower-grade product" while their [[Hazrateen]] [[cousin]]s had [[digestive system]]s which allowed them to enjoy the richest of [[food]]s.

Followed the Slitheen's deposing, both the Blathereen and Slitheen-Blathereen began to hunt them down. ([[SJA]]: ''[[Revenge of the Slitheen]]'', ''[[The Gift (The Sarah Jane Adventures)|The Gift]]'') At the same time, the two Slitheen-Blathereen (who looked down on both sides of their family) began running a con, offering modified Rack Weed to aliens to solve world hunger - the plant would then overrun the planet (killing the population), turning it into a profitable Weed farm. The pair were addicted to this plant.
In [[Glune Fex Fize Sharlaveer-Slam Slitheen]]'s plan to strip [[Sol]] of its energy, one of his priorities afterwards was to defeat the Blathereen. ([[TV]]: ''[[Revenge of the Slitheen (TV story)|Revenge of the Slitheen]]'')


In [[2010]], the Slitheen-Blathereen (posing as benevolent bounty hunters) captured two Slitheen on Earth. They carried out the Rack Weed con on [[Sarah Jane Smith]], claiming it was reparation for the Slitheen's activity. Their plan was ruined after [[Clyde Langer]], [[Rani Chandra]] and [[K9]] discovered the megahertz frequency that could kill the plant. The Slitheen-Blathereen were killed by the same frequency, which destroyed the Weed in their stomachs and caused a destructive methane gas buildup.

By 2501, some or all of the Blathereen had become a criminal family. They were controlled by Don Arco and there were enough criminal Blathereen to replace most of the government of Justicia.

They had been trying to create a massive warp-hole to move the entire Justicia system. The plan was to warp Justicia into other solar systems. With the compression technology used in their disguises, they planned to use Justicia's sun as a massive flamethrower. They would destroy planets and use the remains as nuclear fuel (using a similar plan as the Slitheen family used in 2006 but on a larger scale). The prisoners already in Justicia would be used to process the fuel. They were defeated by the remaining Slitheen and the Ninth Doctor. (PROSE: The Monsters Inside)

Raxacoricofallapatorian stories
For the purposes of this list, a "Raxacoricofallapatorian story" is one in which one living, authentic Raxacoricofallapatorian plays a part within the confines of the story, usually a Slitheen family member, outside of flashbacks to previous stories and cliffhangers that lead into the following story. Stories like The End of Time, The Gift and The Nightmare Man are also not included due to the Slitheens' cameos being of no consequence to the plot of the story.
