| '''Vespiforms''' were an [[insectoid]] race which had hives in the [[Silfrax Galaxy]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Unicorn and the Wasp]]'') | | '''Giant Wasps''' were giant [[wasp]]-like creatures from an unknown [[planet]] that were controlled by the [[Quark]]s who used them in their attempt to create an empire. The Quarks used the Wasps to try and kill [[Second Doctor|the Doctor]] on [[Gano]] and then they faced [[Sixth Doctor|him]] again on [[Earth]] in [[1999]]. The Wasps at some point turned against the Quarks. ([[TVC]]: ''[[The Killer Wasps]]''/ [[MA]]: ''[[Millennial Rites]]'') |

| | :''It is possible the [[Vespiform]]s, which fought against [[Quark Rebels]], and the Giant Wasps might be related or might be one and the same.'' |

| Vespiforms were a species of insectoids which resembled oversized (nearly three metres long) [[wasp]]s. They had the ability to transform into the guise of other species, even to the extent of [[near-Human]]s. The tranformations were accompanied by a glowing, purple-pink haze and left behind [[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 recorder]]s, 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]]'')
| |
|
| |
| ==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 [[Tenth Doctor|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]]'')

| |
| According to the [[Torchwood Institute]], the Vespiforms may have gone to war with [[Quark]] rebels, though they themselves doubted the accuracy of that information. (''[[Captain Jack's Monster Files]]'': Vespiform)
| |
| ==Technology==
| |
| Vespiforms had [[galaxy|intergalactic]] travel capabilities, allowing them to travel from their home galaxy to [[Mutter's Spiral]].
| |
|
| |
| ==Behind the Scenes==
| |
| Torchwood's belief that the Vespiforms may have gone to war with the Quarks is probably a reference to a comic strip where Giant Wasps are working with the Quarks but then turn against them. This is in [[TVC]]: ''[[The Killer Wasps]]''
