The Fendahl were a gestalt organism, originally from Fifth Planet composed of the Fendahl Core and the Fendhaleen. The Fendhal posed a threat to all life.
Characteristics
Biology
Thirteen components make up the Fendhal:
- AFendhal Core. The skull of the Fendhal Core which transported itsel to Earth resembled a Human skull in every respect, but for a pentagram shape in the forehead.
- After her transformation into the Fendahl Core, Thea Ransome appeared as a golden-skinned, majestic being with gigantic, unblinking eyes.
- The Fendahleen. These were large eyeless and limbless creatures with a fringe of pink tentacles around their mouths and two large fins above it. The Fendahleen numbered twelve for every one Fendhal Core.
.
Life cycle
The Fendahl could drain all the spectrum of energy from their prey, effectively sucking out their souls. Even the skull nicknamed Eustace, the fossil remnants of a Fendhal Core twelve million years dead, had the power to drain the life force of the Doctor.
The Core could create these Fendahleens from living Humans.
- Possibly, only Humans with the correct genetic inheritance can change into Fendahleen.
but if the Core is destroyed the Fendahl is killed. All of the parts of the Fendahl can telekinetically control people, but the Core has many more psychic powers such as mind control and astral projection.
Biology
Salt is fatal to Fendahleen.
History
The Fendahl and the Time Lords of Gallifrey
Roughly 12 million years BCE, the Fendahl evolved on the Fifth Planet located between Mars and Jupiter. The Fendhal had beun to kill all life on the planet, including each other. When the Time Lords learnt of the danger that the Fendahl posed, they placed the planet in a time loop. They also removed all trace of the Fendahl from their records. The Fendahl still survived and transported itself to Earth.
On Gallifrey, the Fendahl passed into legend, though, on Gallifrey. As a boy, the Doctor knew of stories abou the Fendhal that caused him to fear it even as an adult.
The Fendahl and Humanity
- We do not know if the Fendahl physically transported itself or projected itself in the form of energy. The Doctor thought it must have ravaged Mars along the way, although twelve mllion years later, Mars did still possess life in the form of the Ice Warriors.
The essence of the Fendhal lay dormant in the skull of the Fendhal Core, which Dr. Fendleman would find in the 1960s by discovering a "sonic shadow" and tracing it back to its source. Fossilized in the fossilized lava of an inactive volcano in Kenya, Fendleman found the skull. Since, according to Human archaeological theory, a twelve million year old Human skull should not exist, Fendleman deduced, correctly, that the skull must have come from space.
