An outer plasmic shell, often simply called a plasmic shell, was a TARDIS exterior. In a perfectly functioning TARDIS, the chameleon circuit picked a plasmic shell suitable to the time and place in which the ship landed. A TARDIS' shells were stored in the shell room; if the room had no suitable shells, more were created and stored as well. (PROSE: The Little Things) The theory in the TARDIS Handbook was that the plasmic shell was driven by the chameleon circuit. (TV: Logopolis) When a TARDIS died or was dying, its final plasmic shell grew to enormous size due to leakage of the dimensionally transcendentalism. (TV: The Name of the Doctor)
Due to a malfunction in the chameleon circuit deliberately caused by the Eleventh Doctor, the Doctor's Type 40 TARDIS was stuck with a police box plasmic shell from leaving 1963 London to the end of its life at Trenzalore. (TV: An Unearthly Child, Logopolis, Boom Town, Meanwhile in the TARDIS, The Name of the Doctor, PROSE: Synthespians, COMIC: Hunters of the Burning Stone)
Among plasmic shells used by the Doctor's TARDIS before the malfunction were: a wooden kiosk, (AUDIO: Quinnis) a boulder, (PROSE: Frayed) a shed (PROSE: The Price of Conviction) and, finally, a post box. (PROSE: The Little Things)
The Tremas Master used his chameleon circuit to bond his TARDIS' plasmic shell with the Third Doctor's. (PROSE: The Quantum Archangel)
Later, more sentient TARDISes could decide what to change into all by themselves. (PROSE: Alien Bodies)
