Marsh Dalek

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference


The Marsh Dalek was a variation on the standard Dalek model.

Employed to patrol swamps, the Marsh Daleks were structurally different from the standard model. Resembling cans balanced on thin stilt legs, the Marsh Daleks lacked the common manipulator arm, having a gunstick positioned in the centre of its cylindrical body.

Marsh Daleks on Gurnian were responsible for keeping the local wildlife under control but the creatures of Gurnian proved to be a match for the Daleks as at least one Marsh Dalek had fallen prey to a horrorkon. ()

During the 26th century an irregular army fought Marsh Daleks in the Flova trenches. They brought them down by shooting at the legs with high-impulse carbines. (NA: Lungbarrow)
