The Hath were a race of piscine humanoids. (DW: The Doctor's Daughter)

Appearance

Hath were a humanoid race with purple and orange fish-like skin and a small headcrest running along the top of their heads. They were slightly taller than most Near-Humans. They breathed nutrient liquid rather then air and thus when in a human-breathable atmosphere they used a breathing structure attached to their mouth


(DW: The Doctor's Daughter)

Technology

The Hath shared a lot of technology with the Humans they were allied with, such as guns and generation chambers. The only technology that was only used by the Hath, however, was a structure attached to each Hath's mouth. This structure was metallic with a glass casing for a bubbling green liquid. It purpose was unclear but actions suggested that it aided the Hath in breathing and/or communication. (DW: The Doctor's Daughter)

History

The Hath were a race which allied themselves with Humans when they started to venture deeper and deeper in space. they helped mine the ores needed and create the first colonies.

They also took part in the colonisation of Messaline in the July 6012 of the New Byzantine Calendar. However, with the death of the mission commander, there was a power vacuum and both species fought to take the planet for their own.

After a seven-day battle, the two races found the "Source", an artefact that mythologisation had led them to believe was the breath of the creator. Due to the efforts of the Doctor, Jenny, Donna Noble and Martha Jones (the latter who had allied herself with the Hath) the Source was broken and terraforming gases within escaped, and the two races were to peace.

Behind the Scenes

It was rumoured Hath were red bubbles that communicate through expanding and letting out smaller bubbles. It was also rumoured one of them would kill Jenny at the end of the episode. While bubbles did appear to be the Hath's only form of communication, Doctor Who Confidential showed that lines were actually scripted for the Hath (even if they only groaned throughout the episode).
