The Pting were a species capable of eating a variety of inorganic materials, but which subsisted off of energy.
Pting were one of the most dangerous species in the universe. (GAME: The Pting Dilemma [+]Loading...{"page":"31","1":"The Pting Dilemma (game)"})
Biology[[edit] | [edit source]]
Pting were a small bipedal species. Although vicious, they were strictly non-carnivorous and could not consume organic matter. They could consume, however, any inorganic material, including the Thirteenth Doctor's sonic screwdriver, which made it virtually impossible to contain or confine them.
They were believed to have been impossible to kill, and could survive in a vacuum, without oxygen. They could even eat a bomb and barely be affected when it detonated; in fact, it actually made a Pting full. They were also deadly to the touch as they excreted poison. (TV: The Tsuranga Conundrum [+]Loading...["The Tsuranga Conundrum (TV story)"]) Ptings could either be greyish-green, or red. (TV: Revolution of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Revolution of the Daleks (TV story)"])
Pting were adorable, not unlike the Fward, a physically indentical species. Unlike the Pting, the Fward were completely harmless and could primarily be distinguished by how the Fward travelled in pairs. (GAME: The Pting Dilemma [+]Loading...{"page":"31","1":"The Pting Dilemma (game)"})
History[[edit] | [edit source]]
Many attempts to study the Pting had failed, as had all attempts to keep some in captivity. Nevertheless, by the 67th century, Item Seven Alpha Cubed of the Perils of the Constant Division was a vid-briefing that was available on the Tsuranga. It had been allocated the threat level, Chalice, the highest level.
Eve Cicero once encountered a Pting. It massacred her entire fleet and she learnt from the encounter that they kill relentlessly, a fact that she relayed to the Doctor when faced with another one. She also remarked that they could be stunned by a stazer.
Another Pting crashed aboard the Tsuranga in an attempt to consume its anti-matter power core. The Thirteenth Doctor removed a detonation device for this particular Pting to devour rather than the ship's core, stopping it from destroying the ship. She subsequently ejected the creature into space. (TV: The Tsuranga Conundrum)
A Pting, which the Thirteenth Doctor named "Tiny", was imprisoned in the Judoon prison. It constantly tried to eat its way through the electrical cage, but to no avail. (TV: Revolution of the Daleks)
A Pting was exhibited in the Space Museum when the Vashta Nerada invaded. (WC: Hall of Monsters)
Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- The Pting appears in Alien Game [+]Loading...["Alien Game (video game)"] and as a shoulder accessory for players' avatars in Roblox.

- The Pting has become one of the most merchandisable parts of Series 11 along with the Stenza Tzim-Sha and the Doctor herself with getting a FUNKO POP. The Pting FUNKO POP was a limited edition to the 2019 Summer Convention.
