}}'''Cybershade 16''' was a [[Cybershade]] featured in [[The Next Doctor]]. It was notably the first Cybershade ever to be seen, and the only ever to have been named.
'''Cybershades''' were a variant of [[Cyberman (Pete's World)|Cybermen]] that served [[Mercy Hartigan|Miss Hartigan]] and the Cybermen.


==Biology and Appearance==
==Known Uses==
Cybershades were wraith like creatures with bronze Cyber-heads. Instead of the traditional handle-bars, Cybershades had handle-bars that resembled piping that was connected to their heads, instead of the normal handle-bars that went into a crest on the top of a Cyberman's head. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Next Doctor]]'')


The Cybershades had the brains of [[cat]]s or [[dog]]s, and were therefore unable to speak or obey complex demands. ([[WC]]: ''[[Captain Jack's Monster Files|Captain Jack's Monster Files: Cybermen]]'') They were seemingly unable to run upright; instead they were only known to run on all fours or bent over low. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Next Doctor]]'')
*Acting as a scout ([[The Next Doctor]])
*Creating live footage for review from the [[Cybermen]] ([[The Next Doctor]])
*Rounding up humans ([[The Next Doctor]])


The Cybershades were incredibly agile and could jump at least 5 metres off of the ground. They had enough strength to pull two grown men whilst still running at full speed and could scale walls and land safely when falling from a great height. These abilities were exhibited by [[Cybershade 16]], who leapt up onto the edge of a building, scaled the wall whilst tethered to both [[Tenth Doctor|the Doctor]] and [[Jackson Lake]], ran across the floor of the building on all fours (still dragging the two men) before jumping out of the window and seemingly landing safely. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Next Doctor]]'')
==Profile==
Created by the Cybermen when they first landed in victorian London, Cybershade 16 was an animal (possibly a dog or cat) that had been converted into Cyber form. Unlike other Cyber variants, it had the abilities to run faster than it's masters and scale walls. Proved to be very strong, it pulled the [[Doctor]] and [[Jackson Lake]] up and building, and then across a building, whilst still running at full speed. It later reported clips of these events through video feed back the the [[Cybermen]] ([[The Next Doctor]]). Other than the Cybermen, it was also under the control of [[Miss Hartigan]] as she later requested it's help ([[The Next Doctor]]). It is presumptuous that Cybershade 16 took part in the funeral massacre by rounding up humans for deletion ([[The Next Doctor]]).


==History==
==Other info==
Sometime during the [[19th century]], [[Cyberman (Pete's World)|the Cybermen]] of a [[Pete's World|Parallel Earth]] broke out of [[the Void]]. Needing extra work force, they created the Cybershades as guards and scouts, modelling them on animals so as not to draw too much attention. At least 16 Cybershades were created.
*It was the only Cybershade creature to be mentioned individually in the episode.
 
When the Cybermen made contact with Miss Hartigan, the Cybershades were placed under her command. One was assigned to drive her personal horse-and-buggy. At least one Cybershade was being hunted by "[[Jackson Lake|The Doctor]]", but it always managed to evade him.
 
When Miss Hartigan (now the [[Cyber-King]]) took control of a the Cybermen and entered a large, mobile Cyber factory, at least two Cybershades accompanied her (although there could have been more). When [[Tenth Doctor|The Doctor]] gave her back her emotions, the Cybershades exploded along with her and the Cybermen, presumably making the Cybershades extinct.

==Behind the scenes==
*The [[Mondasian Cybermen]] used a similar source to create the [[Cybermat]]s, though instead of a humanoid body with an animal brain, they were insect-like bodies with animal brains.
* Cybershades were first revealed in Russell T. Davies: The Writer's Tale, where it was confirmed that they would appear in ''[[The Next Doctor]]''.
*In this episode, at least one Cybershade was played by [[Ruari Mears]], who had played the part of [[Hath Gable]] in ''[[The Doctor's Daughter]]''.
