| The '''Eternal Dalek''' was a [[yellow]], specialised [[Dalek]] of the [[New Dalek Paradigm]]. The first one was created by the [[Progenitor]] in [[1941]]. Unlike its comrades, it had [[black]], not [[grey]], [[sense globe]]s on its [[base unit]] battle armour.

| == History ==
| | The Alliance was destroyed when [[the Doctor's TARDIS]] exploded, leaving only two [[Stone Dalek]]s, one of which hindered the Doctor and his companions' efforts to save the universe in [[1996]]. Nevertheless, the Doctor later [[Big Bang Two|restored]] the [[universe]], returning the Alliance to their original places in space and time. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Big Bang (TV story)|The Big Bang]]'') |

| The [[Eternal Dalek (Victory of the Daleks)|original Eternal]] was one of the five New Paradigm Daleks created when the [[Ironside Project|three survivors]] of an encounter with [[the Doctor]] tricked the [[Eleventh Doctor]] into allowing them to activate the [[Progenitor]] device. It escaped through a [[time corridor]] with the others (the others being the white [[Supreme Dalek (New Dalek Paradigm)|Supreme]], blue [[Strategist Dalek|Strategist]], orange [[Scientist Dalek|Scientist]], and red [[Drone Dalek (New Dalek Paradigm)|Drone]]) and went on to help rebuild the Daleks.

| The Daleks joined [[the Alliance (The Pandorica Opens)|the Alliance]] formed to imprison the [[Eleventh Doctor]] in the [[Pandorica]] and save the [[universe]] from the [[Time Field|cracks in time]] created from the TARDIS exploding. When they arrived at [[Stonehenge]], 102 A.D. with the rest of the Alliance, the Eternal, the Supreme, and a Drone witnessed the Doctor being locked in the Pandorica. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Pandorica Opens (TV story)|The Pandorica Opens]]'') The Eternal Dalek was reduced to dust and [[Stone Dalek|stone]] along with the Supreme Dalek and the Drone Dalek following the [[total event collapse]]. This timeline would later be undone by the Doctor, restoring the Eternal and the other Daleks in their proper place in time, never knowing of the cracks. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Big Bang (TV story)|The Big Bang]]'')

| |
| * ''[[Doctor Who Confidential]]'' revealed that the name of Eternal Dalek was provided by [[Steven Moffat]] in a "naming session" with [[Mark Gatiss]]. Neither had a meaning for the name, but Moffat opened in ''Confidential'' that he thought that the functionality of the Eternal would one day become critical to a story. ''[[Doctor Who: The Dalek Handbook|The Dalek Handbook]]'' quotes Gatiss as saying "its exact function is a total mystery, but it's probably something to do with the Progenitor device and the continuation of the race."
| |
| * ''[[The Brilliant Book 2011]]'' calls attention to the fact that the Eternal Dalek's colours are usually found on the most dangerous animals in the wild.
| |
| * The Eternal Dalek is the only one of the five Progenitor Daleks to have black rather than grey orbs like the [[Gold Dalek]]s from [[TV]]: ''[[Day of the Daleks (TV story)|Day of the Daleks]]'' and ''[[Frontier in Space (TV story)|Frontier in Space]]''.
| |
| * The packaging of the action figure version of Eternal refers to the Dalek as '''The Eternal'''.
| |
| * The Eternal Dalek is the only Dalek of the New Dalek Paradigm that has yet to appear in any material outside of the main TV series. A yellow Dalek (with dark grey rather than black orbs) is seen on the loading screens for ''[[City of the Daleks (video game)|City of the Daleks]]'', and in the game itself. It is the only one of five Dalek variants absent in ''[[The Eternity Clock (video game)|The Eternity Clock]]''.
| |
| * New Paradigm Eternal Dalek is an enemy in the ''[[Legacy (video game)|Doctor Who: Legacy]]'' mobile game, which is not considered a valid DWU source.
| |
| * In Doctor Who Live: [[The Monsters Are Coming!]] The Eternal claimed it could calculate and lock Time Parameters, this could mean the function of the Eternal is to turn points in time when the Daleks are close to succeeding into fixed points so they cannot be rewritten. If this is the case it likely means it is called the Eternal because it's function is to make sure the Daleks exist for all eternity.
| |
| * All five archetypes of the New Dalek Paradigm feature in ''The Lego Batman Movie'', appearing among the inhabitants of the Phantom Zone, alongside many famous villains from a number of fictional franchises. Like the others, they are unleashed upon Gotham City by the supervillain known as "the Joker" at the climax of the film, only to be defeated and sealed back inside the prison dimension. Their one line is the exclamation "Exterminate!", actually a piece of archive audio originally recorded by [[Nicholas Briggs]] for ''[[The Parting of the Ways (TV story)|The Parting of the Ways]]''.
| |
| * In ''[[Dalek Hack (video game)|Dalek Hack]]'', the player has the option to turn a Dalek's [[casing]], shaped identically to the [[bronze Dalek]], into any of the five colours of the New Dalek Paradigm.
