| Abzorbaloff | |
| Race: | Unknown, dubbed "Abzorbaloff" by Elton Pope and the Doctor |
| Home Planet: | Clom |
| Home Era: | Early 21st Century Humanian Era |
| Appearances: | "Love and Monsters" |
| Actor: | Peter Kay |
Assuming a human disguise and alias in the form of Victor Kennedy, the Abzorbaloff was a creature that absorbed his victims' memories and consciousness into himself. The physical process is begun by a simple touch and is irreversible. The faces of his victims can be seen embedded in his flesh and retain their identity and consciousness for several days at least, but are also able to access the creature's own thoughts. "Abzorbaloff" is not the actual name of the species, but was coined independently by Elton Pope and the Doctor. The monster was seen to approve of the term, however. Other names thrown at him by the Doctor and Elton included "Abzorbatron", "Abzorbaklon", "Abzorbatrix" and "Abzorbalot". The monster also required the use of a limitation field (from a device concealed in Victor Kennedy's cane) to keep his absorption ability in check.
Clom, the creature's home planet, is the sister planet of Raxacoricofallapatorius, homeworld of the criminal Slitheen clan. Despite a passing resemblance to them, the Abzorbaloff spoke of the Raxacoricofallapatorians with contempt.
The Abzorbaloff had arrived on Earth to recruit a small group of humans who had learned of and become fascinated with the Doctor's presence and activities. Disguised as Kennedy and feigning to share their admiration for this mystery figure, the Abzorbaloff in fact was planning to absorb the Doctor's memories and knowledge, and was using these people to lure the Doctor into a trap, absorbing each person to sustain himself until he could acquire his real quarry. He was defeated when the remnants of his most recently absorbed victims rallied together to pull him apart from the inside. When Pope then broke the cane, the Abzorbaloff's limitation field was destroyed. This caused his absorption ability to go out of control, and his body to collapse into a gooey puddle. The remnants were absorbed into the Earth.
