Alfredo was the name given to an Earthling pig by the Fourteenth Doctor after their initial encounter on a Sycorax spaceship. Alfredo aided the Doctor in defeating the Sycorax and subsequently joined him aboard the TARDIS.
History
A pig was transported from Earth to a Sycorax spaceship where a group of Stromboks and Vega Raptons mistook him for a dangerous creature and tied him up on a stalagmite. However he was soon rescued when the Fourteenth Doctor arrived and released him, assuring the Stromboks and Vega Raptons that he was not dangerous. When the Doctor asked the group for help, he was the only one to eagerly volunteer. The Doctor named the pig Alfredo, stating that this was probably a good name for a pig, and they set off together to discover why these different species have been kidnapped. While exploring, Alfredo wandered off and became separated from the Doctor. (PROSE: Under Control [+]Loading...["Under Control (short story)"])
Alfredo later caught up with the Doctor, in time to find him engaged in a duel with the Queen of the Sycorax. When the Queen appeared to have almost defeated the Doctor, Alfredo knocked her into a pool of Sarnsquids, who then ejected her from the ship. Alfredo and the Doctor departed the Sycorax spaceship together, with the Doctor deciding that they should make the most of second chances. (COMIC: Into Control)
Personality
Despite being ill-treated by the Vega Raptons, Alfredo was still willing help save them from the Sycorax, and was in fact the only one to volunteer to aid the Doctor, which he punctuated with a "plucky" squeal. Alfredo was shown to be inquisitive, quickly wandering off to investigate the Sycorax spaceship. He was fond of humans, quickly seeking affection from a group he discovered aboard the spaceship. (PROSE: Under Control [+]Loading...["Under Control (short story)"]) He also enjoyed being petted by the Fourteenth Doctor. (COMIC: Into Control)
Appearance
Alfredo was small in stature and appeared skinny, bony and sad looking when first encountered by the Doctor due to his meagre weight as a result of his bad treatment by the Vega Raptons, who feared him and described him as an "armoured beast". He had bristles which the Vega Raptons believed were tipped with poison, and tusks that they thought could tear flesh. However in reality he was harmless. (PROSE: Under Control [+]Loading...["Under Control (short story)"]) His skin was pink in colour and he had a curly tail and he was strong enough to knock the Queen of the Sycorax off her feet.
