| The '''Sea Devils''' are a fictional race of amphibious reptilian [[humanoid]]s. The Sea Devils, like their land-based cousins the [[Silurian]]s, were scientifically advanced, and lived during prehistoric times in an aquatic civilization. They are easily cowed into working with anyone to take back [[Earth]].
| |
| | |
| ==Appearance==
| |
| Sea Devils look somewhat like [[humanoid]] turtles or [[plesiosaur]]s. They have beak-like mouths, large blue eyes, two fins on their head and a long neck. They are much more lizard-like than the [[Silurian]]s and don’t have a third eye. They come in a wide variety of blue, green and orange shades for skin tone. They are much tougher then [[human]]s, since they need to survive the crushing depths of the ocean. Sea Devils communicate in a language like sonar, but they can speak [[human]] languages.
| |
| | |
| The [[Silurian]]s are closely related to the Sea Devils, though they are far enough apart genetically to create problems for the offspring.
| |
| | |
| ==Technology==
| |
| The Sea Devils are reasonably advanced, but greatly rely on the advances of the [[Silurian]]s. For example, they used the [[Myrka]], a [[Silurian]] creation, when invading the sea base in ''[[Warriors of the Deep]]''.
| |
| | |
| The Sea Devils have large underwater colonies, filled with Sea Devil soldiers. These bases appear to be carved out of rocks. There are special orange capsules which can transport land-dwelling creatures. They have a large supply of weaponry in these bases and usually store thousands of soldiers. These colonies can be reactivated on mass, usually with a sonic signal. The Sea Devils commonly use a small, round, hand-held weapon.
| |
| | |
| Common Sea Devils wear a type of blue, gauze-like dress. The soldiers in ''[[Warriors of the Deep]]'', on the other hand, wore thick black armour somewhat reminiscent of samurai armour.
| |
| | |
| ==History==
| |
| While the [[Silurian]]s ruled the [[Earth]], the Sea Devils were used as foot soldiers. When [[the moon]] was coming dangerously close to [[Earth]], they also went into their colonies to hibernate. After millions of years, some of the colonies were awaken.
| |
| | |
| In their first appearance in the [[Third Doctor]] serial ''[[The Sea Devils]]'', they were awakened from their hibernation by the renegade [[Time Lord]] known as [[the Master]]. He attempted to persuade them to reclaim the planet from the [[human]] race. Despite [[Third Doctor|the Doctor's]] efforts to convince them otherwise, the Sea Devils eventually decided to go to war, and the Doctor was forced to destroy their base.
| |
| | |
| The Sea Devils next appeared in the [[Fifth Doctor]] serial, ''[[Warriors of the Deep]]''. This time, they allied with the [[Silurian]]s in a second attempt to reclaim [[Earth]] from the [[human]]s. Curiously, on that occasion the creatures used the terms "[[Silurian]]s" and "Sea Devils" to refer to themselves, despite these terms previously being purely [[human]] phrases.
