|
| The '''Racnoss''' were an ancient race from the [[Dark Time]] of the [[Universe]] who re-emerged after billions of years to threaten [[Earth]].

| ==Biology==
| |
| ===Appearance===
| |
| The Racnoss looked like massive half-[[humanoid]], half-arachnid beings, with [[blood]]-red skin and a crested skull. They had 10 razor-tipped limbs, two of which they used for arms. They could also produce webbing to wrap up their prey. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Runaway Bride]]'')

| ===Life Cycle===
| |
| The [[Empress of the Racnoss]] was no different from other Racnoss physically, but she apparently was the only one who had the duty of laying eggs which hatched into other Racnoss, meaning that the entire Racnoss race were the children of the Empress. The young were born starving, and so invaded [[planet]]s to feed off all life on them. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Runaway Bride]]'')
| |
| | |
| ==Technology==
| |
| Most of Racnoss technology was made of a fine, silk-like substance, strengthened and powered by [[Huon]] energy, including their [[spacecraft]], amongst other things.
| |
| | |
| The ''[[Webstar]]'' had energy weaponry which was used to kill for meat. It also had scanning equipment which the [[Empress of the Racnoss]] used to watch a [[planet]] and a teleporter to allow her to travel to and from the planet. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Runaway Bride]]'')
| |
| | |
| ==History==
| |
| The Racnoss evolved in the [[Dark Times]] of the universe and were wiped out by the [[Fledgling Empires]] over [[distant past|4.6 billion years ago]]. Nearly all of the survivors of the race escaped in [[Secret Heart|their spacecraft]], around which the [[planet]] Earth would later form. The [[Empress of the Racnoss]] stayed in her [[Webstar]], but also went into hibernation at the "edge of the Universe" until she decided to search for her young.

| | |
| Around [[2007]], the [[Torchwood Institute]] began a drilling attempt to the centre of the [[Earth]]. This awoke the ''Sacred Heart'', which in turn signalled the Empress of the Racnoss. She came to Earth and took over the work site after the destruction of [[Torchwood 1]] during the [[Battle of Canary Wharf]]. She used the [[River Thames]] as a method of manufacturing [[Huon particles]] to awaken the Racnoss and took over the [[Robot Santa|pilot fish]] to use as soldiers. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Runaway Bride]]'')
