Transmat:Species

Sontaran

File:The Doctor and the poison gas - Doctor Who - BBC

The Sontarans were a race of belligerent and militaristic clones from the planet Sontar, created by the Kaveetch. They waged eternal war throughout Mutter's Spiral against the Rutan Host. Humanoids, they had large, bulbous heads and short stocky bodies. Possessed of grey-brown skin and deep set features, they were a clone species, ultimately derived from only a few individuals. Sontarans generally had three digits on each hand — two fingers and a thumb. Their great weakness was their probic vent, a tube at the back of the neck through which they were fed as young clones. A well-timed blow to the vent rendered them quite unconscious with minimal force.

Beware species with the same name

Not the Vogan you were expecting?

The show's been on forever. Some species names are simply going to get reused. One of the most obvious are the Vogans. Most fans remember the Vogan from season 12's Revenge of the Cybermen. But there's also the Vogans that plagued the Third Doctor…

Start at species

The top-level category for species is category:species. We know what you're thinking: "Why did we make it too difficult to figure out?" Well, the admin staff of this wiki delight in making things as hard to figure out as possible. .

From another dimension

When it comes to identifying where a species comes from, surely there's no cooler concept than other dimension species!

Anthropomorphic animal fan?

How can you not love a Judoon platoon upon the Moon?

If you like alien species that are based on Earth animals, you're in luck. All you have to do is go to the page of an Earth mammal and check out the "looks like" box. For instance, if you wanna know what aliens look like elephants, just go that pachyderm's page and find yourself a breadcrumb at the top of the page.

Biology rules!

One of the cooler species categories is species by biology. Take a gander! That category will help you find species by the special biology they have. Aquatic species, energy beings, species with binary vascular systems — they're all here waiting for you.

Crazy, crazy species names

Maybe no publication has been so active in the creation of off-the-wall species than Doctor Who Adventures. Some of the funkiest names in DWU history come from that mag. Both Homozillians and Hussuloofian come from DWA – and we've not even looked outside the hs.

Sometimes, our category names are kinda long

Sometimes, our category names get very specific so that they're clearly worded. A nice, wordy category is the surprisingly helpful Species influential to Earth's past

Slavery ain't just from the American South

Thankfully, there's an awful lot of slavery in the Doctor Who universe. That's why we absolutely need a large-isn category like slave species.
