Revision as of 20:54, 12 December 2024
The Slitheen were a family of Raxacoricofallapatorian criminals. The Slitheen were rivals (and "cousins") of the Blathereen family, (TV: The Gift) cousins of the Rackateen family and descendants of the Slavereen who were descended from the Changleen family, the earliest descendants of the Huspick Degenerate. (WC: Monster File: Slitheen) The Slitheen family made a habit of going to Earth in attempts to salvage it to make money. (TV: Boom Town, Revenge of the Slitheen)
History
Early history
The Slitheen were from Raxacoricofallapatorius originally, descendants of the Huspick Degenerate, (PROSE: Raxacoricofallapatorius) and bribed their way into government. Their rule crashed the planet's economy and eventually, the population rose up against them. (TV: The Gift) The entire family was tried and found guilty in perpetuity and sentenced to death. (TV: Boom Town) The Judoon forced the Slitheen out and many of them fled justice. (TV: Revenge of the Slitheen) They continued to be pursued by the Wrarth Warriors after their exile from Raxacoricofallapatorius. (PROSE: Raxacoricofallapatorius)
In 102, the Slitheen were among the factions who joined the Pandorica Alliance. They came to Stonehenge and helped imprison the Eleventh Doctor in the Pandorica to save the universe. (TV: The Pandorica Opens) When the plan failed, they were turned to dust and removed from the universe along with the rest of creation. They were returned when the Doctor "reset" the universe. (TV: The Big Bang)
21st century
By March 2006, the Passameer-Day branch disguised themselves as various humans holding leadership positions and attempted to seize control of the British government; on 3 March, they began advertising Earth, and on 6 March, they faked an alien invasion in an effort to divert humanities attention from the signal and to start a nuclear war. Their ultimate aim was to turn the Earth into a huge nuclear reactor pile and sell its remains off as starship fuel. This attempt was foiled by the Ninth Doctor when he ordered Mickey Smith to shoot down Downing Street with a missile. (TV: Aliens of London [+]Loading...["Aliens of London (TV story)"], World War Three [+]Loading...["World War Three (TV story)"]) The following morning, Mickey wrote on his website about the defeat of the Slitheen, also sharing the photograph he took of one. (PROSE: Hoax This! [+]Loading...["Hoax This! (short story)"]) A week later, he interviewed Henry Van Statten, well known for his interest in aliens, and the Slitheen were brought up. (PROSE: Henry Van Statten [+]Loading...["Henry Van Statten (short story)"]) In late 2006, Mickey wrote that he bet that Harriet Jones wouldn't mention fighting the Slitheen with Rose Tyler on Question Time. (PROSE: Mars [+]Loading...["Mars (WiDW short story)"])
Blon Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen survived; having teleported to the Isle of Dogs. Later the same year, in September, Blon managed to get herself elected Mayor of Cardiff, and tried to abuse her position in an attempt to escape being stranded on Earth by destroying a local nuclear reactor. The Cardiff Space-Time Rift would amplify the explosion so it would not only destroy Earth but enable her to escape the planet safely on her extrapolator. This effort was also foiled by the Doctor and his allies when the Doctor used his sonic screwdriver to reverse Blon's teleport. When she tried to use the TARDIS as a secondary explosion, the Doctor used the heart of the TARDIS to revert Blon to an egg, and later returned her to her home planet to be given a second chance at life. (TV: Boom Town) Renamed Margaret, after her human identity, Blon was adopted by the Jingatheen family. (COMIC: A Confusion of Angels)
Glune Fex Fize Sharleveer-Slam Slitheen joined forces with the Lutiven-Day Branch of the family and took over a building company called Coldfire Construction, and placed transducers in school buildings around the Earth to absorb the Sun's energy, destroying the Earth and avenging the Passameer-Day members who died. After doing so, they intended to purchase a fleet of ships to return to their home planet and destroy the Grand Council of Raxacoricofallapatorius.
18 months later, this group of Slitheen used equations by Luke Smith to correctly power the final stage of the machine at Park Vale Comprehensive School after it had been malfunctioning.
As Luke didn't anticipate them draining the Sun, the machine overloaded, and they were forced to switch it off. Luke began to reset the system, but his mother Sarah Jane handed him her sonic lipstick, and he shorted out the machine. Several Slitheen were accidentally killed in this incident, including Kist Magg Thek. (TV: Revenge of the Slitheen)
Having teleported away Kist's twelve-year-old son Korst Gogg Thek Lutiven-Day Slitheen (who had used a teleporter to escape the school) teamed up with two other adult Slitheen and the Xylok Mr Smith to seek revenge. Mr Smith had secretly been manipulating the Slitheen to power Luke's mind with MITRE, bringing the Moon crashing into the Earth and releasing his species. With a mutual enemy, the Slitheen reluctantly teamed up with Sarah Jane and provided her with a teleport so she could reach Mr Smith. The Armageddon virus was successfully uploaded into Mr Smith with help from K9 Mark IV to stop the plot and the Slitheen departed without further conflict. (TV: The Lost Boy)
At some point in 2009, a member of the family took the body of Ambassador Rahnius of the Galactic Alliance and attempted to steal K9 from Sarah Jane. (TV: From Raxacoricofallapatorius with Love) Later, two more Slitheen would attempt to crush the Earth into a giant diamond; they were thwarted and captured by two Blathereen, Leef and Tree. The Blathereen would later be revealed to be Slitheen-Blathereen, a family descended from both families and with the morals of the Slitheen side. Their intervention in the Slitheen crisis was to put into action their own plot to spread Rakweed around the planet. (TV: The Gift)
In September 2009 a Slitheen tried to kill Sarah Jane and Luke with a bomb, but it was deactivated by K9. Clyde Langer splashed the Slitheen with a bucket of vinegar, destroying it. (TV: The Nightmare Man)
One Slitheen was captured by the Krulius and stored in a data-pod. The Krulius later used his digital bio-converter to upload the Slitheen's bio data onto the internet. There it was found by Mr Smith, Rani Chandra and Clyde Langer who sent the Slitheen back to his original place. (COMIC: Monster Hunt) Another Slitheen was kept at the Doloth Star Base. When the Judoon caught the Krulius all his captured aliens were set free. However, the Krulius had managed to take clone cell samples of his former captured aliens with him, which allowed him to grow perfect copies of these aliens. (COMIC: Return of the Krulius)
In late 2010, two Slitheen took part in the army of alien slaves led by the Krulius to attack Sarah Jane's house. When Clyde defeated several of the aliens, the Slitheen regrouped with the army and the Krulius ordered them to retreat. Sarah Jane thought that the aliens in the army were under some kind of hypnotic influence. (COMIC: Defending Bannerman Road)
By 2012, Henry van Statten possessed a Slitheen arm. (TV: Dalek)
In the late 2010s, the clan Gleff-Cotch Slitheen disguised themselves as a Military Tattoo in an attempt to steal hidden treasures from Edinburgh Castle. Their plans where ultimately thwarted by Lady Christina de Souza and Sam Bishop. (AUDIO: Death on the Mile)
Later 21st century
A group of Slitheen returned to Earth in the late 21st century with hostile intentions but went home after a short time. (PROSE: Snowglobe 7)
Post-21st century
After these attempts, their fortunes started to wane. They were put out of business by the Blathereen, who were cheaper and more effective. In the year 2501, Ecktosca and Dram discovered the activities going on in Justicia and attempted to take over the operations. They were captured but later escaped with the help of the Ninth Doctor. After the death of Don Arco, they stole the surviving warp-hole technology to rebuild their fortune. (PROSE: The Monsters Inside)
At some point, the Slitheen took over the holiday resort on the pleasure planet MXQ1, originally run by the Bluestone brothers. While they could have simply continued to benefit from the resort's existing reputation, the Slitheen attempted to make a greater profit by introducing an addictive new foodstuff literally made from the bodies of the resort's former staff. The Doctor and Rose were able to expose this crime to the authorities on Raxacoricofallapatorius and the Slitheen were arrested by their cousins, the Hazrateen. By this point, the death penalty had been abolished and the captured Slitheen were to be incarcerated rather than executed. (AUDIO: The Taste of Death)
By the 347th century, the family were still exiled from Raxacoricofallapatorius, although they expected a reappraisal in the coming 1000 years. They were also involved in the Platonic War, being among those defeated by the humans. As a form of revenge, they travelled back to an early point in human history, when Greece was facing famine. They gave them food, in exchange asking for champions to fight for them. The Slitheen were actually running a temporal tourist tour, with aliens coming to see the sites of future monuments and with the human fighters being killed for their entertainment. Their eventual plan was for the humans to become too dependent on them, never develop technology and never develop an advanced civilisation. The Tenth Doctor and June tried to stop them peacefully, but instead, the native Greeks fought back, destroying their time travel technology and throwing the whole organisation into chaos. Mamps, Cosmo and Leeb Slitheen escaped but were trapped in the past. When their time-travel package tour appeared to kill a tourist, they were taken to court and bankrupted, with police being sent back to capture Mamps, Cosmo and Leeb. (PROSE: The Slitheen Excursion)
A Slitheen visited the Fluren Temporal Bazaar to purchase weaponry left over from aborted timelines and the Last Great Time War. (COMIC: Weapons of Past Destruction)
At an unknown date, the Slitheen were among many species present at Trenzalore after being drawn there by the Time Lords asking the Question from another universe. The Slitheen took part in the Siege of Trenzalore but they either retreated or were killed in the fighting which took place when the Daleks bypassed the Papal Mainframe's planet-wide force field and the other fleets followed them in their wake to the planet's surface. (TV: The Time of the Doctor)
Alternate timelines
In Andrea Yates' World, where the Trickster manipulated events so that Sarah Jane Smith died in 1964, the Slitheen whom Sarah Jane defeated at Park Vale Comprehensive School never came to Earth.

(TV: The Nightmare Man)
Cultural details
The Slitheen placed great importance to hunting, including the hunting of sentient prey. (TV: Revenge of the Slitheen) Indeed, they were all born hunters. In a Slitheen family tradition, they buried the eggs of their young deep underground in caves, so that they would hatch, quite alone, and have to burrow their way out to survive. Newborn Slitheen thus came into being with no food, guidance or sunlight. Not all survived this ritual. (AUDIO: Sync)
According to Bloorm Vungah Bart Slitheen, the bartleboigle tree was used to discipline children by spanking their backsides. (TV: The Lost Boy) Blon said that the Slitheen used Venom Grubs to dispose of family members not willing to engage in criminal activities. (TV: Boom Town)
They sometimes displayed joy at triumph by disrobing. (TV: World War Three) For Blon, the act of removing a skin suit was "liberating". (AUDIO: Sync)
When one or a group of Slitheen found themselves in a confrontation with multiple individuals, a common tactic was to grab one of them by the neck and threaten to kill them unless the others followed their demands. (TV: Boom Town, The Lost Boy, The Gift)
The Slitheen were known to eat sentient lifeforms including humans (TV: The Lost Boy, The Gift, AUDIO: Death on the Mile, Madquake) and Navarinos. (PROSE: The Slitheen Excursion) They also engaged in cannibalism. (AUDIO: Sync, Madquake) They drank Wullagula. (PROSE: The Slitheen Excursion)
Historians who had been allowed access to the "Monster Vaults" of the databanks in the Doctor's TARDIS observed that the Slitheen shared a predilection towards needing to be naked with the Abzorbaloffs from their twin world of Clom, who were constantly drawing sustenance through their skin. However, as the Abzorbaloffs absorbed other creatures into their body, the Slitheen tactic of hiding inside other creatures was beneath contempt. (PROSE: The Monster Vault)
13 January was the annual Slitheen family reunion. (PROSE: Time Traveller's Diary)
Technology
The Slitheen had developed a method of disguising themselves as humans by first obtaining the skin of a dead human - referred to as a skin suit - and compressing themselves into it. In order for this to work the human victim needed to be heavy set, and the compression had a side effect: a gas exchange occurs which causes the disguised Slitheen to frequently expel gas with a sound similar to human flatulation. (TV: Aliens of London, Revenge of the Slitheen) By the 2000s[nb 1] the compression field technology was improved to allow Slitheen to assume a greater variety of human body types, and the gas-exchange issue was eliminated. (TV: The Lost Boy) However, the Slitheen didn't invent this technology, they stole it from the Blathereen family. (PROSE: The Lost Boy) It wasn't always initially used, (TV: From Raxacoricofallapatorius with Love, The Gift) but would remain the standard until at least 2501. (PROSE: The Monsters Inside)
They also invented a transporter pendant which could teleport them from one place to another. (TV: Revenge of the Slitheen)
In the 347th century, the Slitheen had molecular repurposing devices, remotely controlled ships and time travelling technology stolen from the Navarinos. (PROSE: The Slitheen Excursion)

Behind the scenes
Invalid sources
Attack of the Graske
A Slitheen appears in GAME: Attack of the Graske, a story this wiki does not consider to be a valid DWU source as it has multiple endings.
In Attack of the Graske, an unnamed Slitheen was captured by the Graske and replaced by a changeling. When it broke free from its prison it chased a Graske. A companion of the Tenth Doctor could then choose from two fates for this Slitheen, either freezing it in place forever or returning it home.
The Visual Dictionary
According to the reference book, The Visual Dictionary, which this wiki does not count as a valid source, the Slitheen were one the oldest families on Raxacoricofallapatorius.
Other matters
- The Slitheen are the only aliens from the main series to have appeared more times on-screen in a spin-off show, having been featured in only four episodes (including the cameo in The End of Time) of Doctor Who, yet appearing in six episodes (and one Comic Relief special) of The Sarah Jane Adventures.
- If one counts AUDIO: Sync and AUDIO: The Great Sontaran War, the Slitheen and Sontarans are the only aliens besides the Trickster's Brigade to appear in Doctor Who, Torchwood, and The Sarah Jane Adventures.
- The Slitheen are not created using CGI technology, but are mechanical prosthetics. (CON: Why on Earth?)
Footnotes
- ↑ No on screen date is given for the first two series of The Sarah Jane Adventures, outside of The Day of the Clown from the second series being set shortly after 9 October in an undisclosed year. While Donna Noble's present from the fourth series of Doctor Who is set around the same time as the first series of The Sarah Jane Adventures, and The Temptation of Sarah Jane Smith from the second series of The Sarah Jane Adventures is explicitly described as being set a year after Whatever Happened to Sarah Jane? from the first series, Doctor Who's fourth series is not consistently dated, with TV: The Fires of Pompeii, TV: The Waters of Mars, and AUDIO: SOS setting the present of the 13 regular episodes in 2008, and PROSE: Beautiful Chaos setting them in about April to June 2009.
