Vespiforms were an insectoid race which had hives in the Stilfrax Galaxy. (DW: The Unicorn and the Wasp)

Biology

Vespiforms were a species of insectoids which resembled oversized (nearly three metres long) wasps. They had the ability to tranform into other forms, even to the extent of near-Humans. The tranformations were accompanied by a glowing, purple-pink haze and left behing morphic residue. When in another form, Vespiforms were genetically compatable with the mimicked species - they were even able to breed with members of the species. (DW: The Unicorn and the Wasp)

Vespiforms also had telepathic recorders, an essential part of their mind which could record motivations for them. One such recorder, the Firestone, ended up in the hands of Clemency Eddison in 1885. (DW: The Unicorn and the Wasp)

Technology

Vespiforms had intergalactic travel capabilities, allowing them to travel from their home galaxy to Mutter's Spiral.

History

At some point in their history in the 19th century or prior, the Vespiforms developed space travel.

In 1885, one arrived on Earth and had a child with Clemency Eddison. It drowned in the monsoon of that year. The child was sent to be adopted and eventually ended up as a reverend, Arnold Golightly. At the age of 40 in 1926, had discovered his Vespiform nature. Because of the influence of Agatha Christie's novels and the Firestone, Golighty started commiting various murders before Agatha Christie controlled him to end up near a lake. Donna Noble arrived with the Doctor and threw the Firestone into the lake. Golighty (in Vespiform form) followed and drowned, but relieved Agatha of his connection with her in his dying moment. (DW: The Unicorn and the Wasp)

Behind the Scenes

According to Captain Jack's Monster Files the Vespiforms may once have gone to war with Quark rebels.
