The Venusians were the native species of the planet Venus.
Biology
Venusians had twelve eye-stalks in pairs. (MA: Venusian Lullaby, NA: Bad Therapy, WC: The War of Art) They had five arms, (NA: Bad Therapy, NA: First Frontier), five legs (NA: First Frontier), large feet, (DW: The Time Monster) and tentacles. (WC: The War of Art) They were capable of eating the brains of other Venusians to gain their memories. (MA: Venusian Lullaby)
Culture
Venusians practised a form of Aikido, which the the Doctor also practised. (DW: The Mutants, The Time Warrior) They also had a nerve pinch, which induced short term amnesia. (NA: Timewyrm: Exodus) The Venusians would sing lullabies, (DW: The Curse of Peladon, The Monster of Peladon) though some claimed it was only a bawdy rhyme. (NA: Lucifer Rising)
History
Early in its history, Venus supported life, including the Venusians. When the planet became uninhabitable, the Venusians planned to escape to Earth, but were unsuccessful. (MA: Venusian Lullaby)
Billions of years later, the Venusians survived or were reconstructed. One Venusian, Radico Harstel, was an artist. He created the artwork called The Physical Impossibility of Getting a Shanghorn into a Glass Tank, which was kept in the Paloma Centre. (WC: The War of Art)
Undated events
- The Doctor, Ben and Polly encountered Venusians, Draconians and Alpha Centaurans at a spaceport bar. (PDA: The Murder Game)
