Drornidians (AUDIO: Chronomancer) were a humanoid species from the planet Dronid.

Although they had only one heart, they were cousins and descendants of the Time Lords on Gallifrey. They utilized time suits which were symbiotic, vortex guns, and dimensionally transcendental oubliettes as prisons. Factions included the Chronomantic Order and the Gentry. (AUDIO: Chronomancer)

The Drornidians were the only people who called themselves by that name or their planet Drornid. All other people used "Dronidian" and "Dronid" because the planet's name was mis-spelt in Bartholomew's Planetary Gazetteer. (PROSE: Alien Bodies)

In 1979, Skagra, a Drornidian multidisclipinary scientist of great intellect, tried to harvest the power of the renegade Time Lord Salyavin and place his mind into every living thing in the universe. (TV: Shada, WC: Shada)

The Book of the War described the natives of Dronid as an "early-industrial hominid-descended culture". (PROSE: The Book of the War)
