==History==
Blathereen seen in [[2501]] had [[grey]]-[[green]] [[skin]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Monsters Inside (novel)|The Monsters Inside]]'') The [[Slitheen-Blathereen]] and [[Hanazeen-Blathereen]], however, had [[orange]] skin. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Gift (TV story)|The Gift]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[A Comedy of Terrors (short story)|A Comedy of Terrors]]'')
===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 until the 26th century they became criminals.

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)

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.
