The Hoix were a race of omnivorous humanoids.
Biology
The Hoix, as mentioned, were a humanoid race. They were slightly shorter than the average Human and had brown skin, sharp teeth and exposed gums.
Files by the Torchwood Institute suggested that the Hoix lived to eat, and one Hoix specimen apparently liked to eat everything. Owen Harper noted how unintelligent they appeared to be. (TW: Exit Wounds) The Doctor was aware of this and also of what effects various chemicals had on the Hoix. (DW: Love & Monsters)
History
Torchwood Institute had encounter the Hoix before. In one instance, one was found in Barry, where it had broken into a restaurant. (TW: Exit Wounds)
In the summer of 2007, one Hoix was encountered by Elton Pope. Pope, in search of the Doctor, had managed to locate the Doctor's TARDIS. While following voices into abandoned warehouse, Elton startled the Hoix who attempted to attack him. The Doctor was able to distract the fierce-seeming Hoix with a piece of raw meat and Rose Tyler threw a bucket of liquid at the Hoix. Unfortunately, this was the wrong bucket, which just made the Hoix angry. Rose and the Doctor were then chased by the Hoix until Rose was able to find the correct bucket. (DW: Love & Monsters)
- Nothing is known about the Hoix or why the Doctor was chasing him/her or how (or if) they eventually defeated him/her.
In late 2009, a Hoix (whether it was the same one or different) came through the Cardiff rift into St. Helen's Hospital, Cardiff. A doctor trapped it but ultimately Owen Harper had to lure it out and tranquillise it. (TW: Exit Wounds)
- It is unknown what happened to the Hoix after this, although most aliens found by Torchwood 3 ended up in the Hub's vaults.
Behind the Scenes
There has been much confusion over whether the Hoix was the name of the creature appearing in Love and Monsters or its species. Doctor Who Top Trumps suggested it was its species, although it is not to be trusted. Yet in Exit Wounds the way Owen Harper talks about it defenantly infers it is a species not a character.
