Spaceship Remotes were gelatinous lifeforms used by the Novrosk Spaceship in its search for power to restart it's systems and take off.
Appearance and abilities
The Remotes, nicknamed 'Blobs' by The Doctor, appeared as large, blue, glowing hemispheres, with one long electric blue tentacle on each side. Should a human being be caught in these, they would be quickly drained of energy, and aged rapidly until reduced to a withered husk. The energy gathered would be transmitted back to the ship itself, and would be used to power up it's sytems. In addition to this, the Remotes possesed the ability to survive both in water and on land, and incredible strength, being able to break through a solid concrete wall at the research base.
