The Pyroviles were a species of rock-based humanoids from the planet Pyrovillia.
Biology
Pyroviles were humanoids with a rock-based form with a magma interior. They were able to shoot flames out of their mouths, which could easily turn a Human to ashes in seconds. They could be killed by sufficient quantities of water, their internal heat being snuffed out and their bodies solidifying. They were tall beings, reaching up to about 10 metres in height and resembling oversized Roman soldiers. Pyroviles came in two varieties - a shorter, easily-destroyed "Foot Soldier" and more advanced, fully grown Pyroviles, which could reach over twice this height.
- However, the Pyroviles may only have had this form since they took over the bodies of Humans.
When disintegrated Pyroviles were breathed in by Humans, these particles would slowly transform the humans into Pyroviles themselves. The individuals would slowly turn into rock, until they were entirely stone. The Pyrovilles were also able to enhance the latent psychic powers that Human brains possess. (DW: The Fires of Pompeii)
History
At some point in their history, the Pyroviles developed advanced technology from rock, and could travel into space. When their homeworld was stolen by Davros (DW: The Stolen Earth), a group of Pyroviles escaped in an escape pod, which crashed on Earth. The Pyroviles were obliterated in the explosion and eroded into dust particles in the core of Mount Vesuvius. They waited for thousands of years until they were woken up by an earthquake in 62 CE. They were able to influence the soothsayers of Pompeii into creating a ventilation system, allowing the remains of the Pyroviles to be breathed in. These affected people were able to tell the future accurately from the time rift which formed around Pompeii.
By 79 CE, full-grown Pyrovilles had created a base beneath Vesuvius and planned to convert the power of the volcanic eruption to change all Humans into Pyroviles and create a new Pyrovillia. The Doctor stopped this and knowingly caused Mount Vesuvius to erupt and destroy the Pyroviles and the nearby town of Pompeii. (DW: The Fires of Pompeii)
Torchwood learned about the Pyroviles, through the monitoring of a 1923 British archaeological survey of Rome by professor Livesy-Smythe, which turned up a scroll detailing the events, as chronicled by Caecilius. This unlikely tale was later corroborated by the discovery of huge Pyrovile footprints in the Pompeii ruins, and the discovery of marble circuits. (Captain Jack's Monster Files)
