Abzorbalovians were a humanoid race that came from the planet Clom, (WC: The Genuine Article) one such creature notably approved the name Abzorbaloff which was coined separately by both Elton Pope and Tenth Doctor, with Elton initially suggesting Abzorbathon and Abzorbaling and the Doctor suggesting Abzorbatrix and Abzorbaclon. (TV: Love & Monsters) By one account, their "species designation" was known only to themselves and the Shadow Proclamation. (PROSE: The Time Traveller's Almanac) Historians who had been allowed access to the "Monster Vaults" of the databanks in the Doctor's TARDIS knew them as Abzorbaloffs, "for want of a better name", and noted that it was a name given to the creatures who were not imaginative enough to come up with a name for themselves.

History[[edit] | [edit source]]
The Abzorbalovians were part of the four-world Raxas Alliance along with the Raxacoricofallapatorians and the people of Raxacoricovarlonpatorius and Clix. (TV: The Gift)
The Raxacoricofallapatorian Clom colonists set up a colony on Clom. The Abzorbalovian Rebels were a notorious criminal organisation descended from the Raxacoricofallapatorian Huspick Degenerate. (WC: Monster File: Slitheen)
In early 2007 an Abzorbalovian rebel came to Earth with the intention of finding the Tenth Doctor to absorb him, gain all his knowledge and experience and take his TARDIS. After absorbing several victims to feed himself, he tracked down LINDA, went to their meeting place and offered to help them find the Doctor. He took over the organisation. While LINDA worked to find the Doctor, he absorbed most of them to further feed himself, claiming they simply left the group (Bliss and Bridget) or were currently elsewhere (Mr. Skinner). However Ursula Blake and Elton Pope discovered his true intentions. He then absorbed Ursula and tried to absorb Elton, but the Doctor and Rose Tyler found Elton and delayed the absorption. Before he could absorb Elton, the absorbed victims fought back and the Abzorbalovian, nicknamed the Abzorbaloff, died when Elton destroyed his limitation field. Three of his victims died with him, while Ursula survived as a face on a slab of concrete. (TV: Love & Monsters)
The father of the Abzorbaloff arrived on Earth two years later to seek revenge on the Doctor. After trapping the Doctor, the Abzorbalovian unleashed the Krakanord, which betrayed him. (WC: The Genuine Article)
The Thirteenth Doctor observed an Abzorbaloff who had absorbed a Sea Devil, a Monoid and a couple of Slitheen. (PROSE: The Wonderful Doctor of Oz)
In 3764, Clom pulled out of peace talks among the Raxas Alliance. As such, their denizens did not participate in the peace conference on Clix and the ensuing Grand Raxian Hunt against Slist Fayflut Marteveerthon Slitheen and Rose Tyler. (COMIC: Doctormania)
