'''The Rani''' is a renegade [[Time Lord|Time Lady]], an evil scientific genius whose villainy comes not from the usual variety of lust for power and suchlike, but from a mindset that treats everything (including morality) as secondary to her research; she has been known to enslave entire [[planet]]s in order to have a ready supply of experimental subjects and a place to carry out her experiments uninterrupted. Her major interest is in tinkering with other species' biochemistry - she was exiled from [[Gallifrey]] after some of her lab [[mouse|mice]], as a result of an experiment, grew to enormous size and ate the [[Lord President|President]]'s pet [[cat]]. A past relationship between the Rani and [[the Doctor]] is hinted at, but never elaborated upon. It has been established that they are the same age.
The '''Raxacoricofallapatorians''' are a race of large, calcium based aliens who have faced off with the [[Ninth Doctor]] several times.
Raxacoricofallapatorians are roughly [[humanoid]] aliens with baby-like faces, a long neck and green skin. They have long arm with three sharp claws. They hatch from large green eggs with strange tendrils. Raxacoricofallapatorians are predators by nature and are excellent trackers. The females of the species can create [[poison]] as a last resort, which can be released by a dart-like claw or by their breath. According to [[The Monsters Inside]], they also have a more efficient metabolism. They are nearly 3 metres tall and are much stronger then a human.


While the Rani certainly does not share the Doctor's fondness for [[Earth]], referring to it as a "miserable planet," it has been the focus of several of her research projects.  When the test subjects on one of the planets she had enslaved became violently restless and uncontrollable, - a side affect of her experiments on them, - the Rani visited Earth at various points in its history to extract chemicals from the brains of select [[human]]s. Because the chemicals in question enabled the human brain to rest, and because the absence of these chemicals made her victims as violent and uncontrollable as those from her previous experiments, the Rani purposely chose periods of social unrest to visit, using the violence to conceal her presence and its consequences.  
Due to their calcium based nature, Raxacoricofallapatorians are vulnerable to acetic acid and react explosively with it. One of the Raxacoricofallapatorian methods of execution is the lowering of the criminal into a cauldron of acetic acid, which is then heated to boiling. The acidity of the solution is formulated to dissolve the skin, allowing the internal organs to drop into the liquid while the condemned is still alive, resulting in a slow and painful death.

The Raxacoricofallapatorians are a race of large, calcium based aliens who have faced off with the Ninth Doctor several times. Raxacoricofallapatorians are roughly humanoid aliens with baby-like faces, a long neck and green skin. They have long arm with three sharp claws. They hatch from large green eggs with strange tendrils. Raxacoricofallapatorians are predators by nature and are excellent trackers. The females of the species can create poison as a last resort, which can be released by a dart-like claw or by their breath. According to The Monsters Inside, they also have a more efficient metabolism. They are nearly 3 metres tall and are much stronger then a human.
