Tivolians were the inhabitants of the planet Tivoli.

History

Tivolians were one of the oldest species in the galaxy. Their home world was conquered multiple times. (TV: The God Complex)

The Fisher King invaded Tivoli in the 20th Century, ruling for ten years before being overthrown by the Arcateenians. Faking his death, his "body" was taken to Earth by funeral director Prentis, where he initiated a plan to summon an army, but was killed by the Twelfth Doctor shortly after. (TV: Before the Flood)

One Tivolian, a town planner named Gibbis who was engaged in a project to line all his planet's highways with trees so invading armies could march in the shade, was plucked from his homeworld and deposited in a hellish "hotel" where people were made to face their greatest fear, with Gibbis' fear being the Weeping Angels. Gibbis ultimately survived the ordeal and, after his escape from the hotel, requested the Eleventh Doctor drop him off in the TARDIS at the nearest galaxy. (TV: The God Complex)

Culture

At first glance the Tivolians were a society of cowards. They never defended themselves and did everything they could to make their conquerors as comfortable as possible. The Eleventh Doctor considered this to be an aggressive form of cowardice. The Tivolians didn't fight; they survived by outliving their conquerors. (TV: The God Complex)
