Reapers are multi-limbed, flying reptilian beings. They have sleek heads, four long hooked arms and a mouthes on their chest. Like the Hunters, the Reapers will search out disturbances in time, such as paradoxes. They then leave the Time Vortex and sterilize the area by devouring everything, with older objects being the tastiest. They engulf creature in a flash of light with their mouth, leaving no traces. Despite these powers, they are material creatures (at least they are in this world), and can be blocked. They cannot pass through solid objects, with older objects being more effective. As damage to Time in the form of time paradoxes accumulated, that allows them entry.

The presence of Reapers would seem more prevalent given, as the Doctor explained, the role of the Time Lords in preventing paradox. With the Time Lords gone, paradoxes happen with more frequency. (DW:Father's Day)

The Reapers are similar in both appearance and habitat to the Vortisaurs from Storm Warning, the Hunters (DW:The Pit) and the Chronovores. The actual name Reaper does not appear in the given story, however it has that accepted name.::
