The Eriscents were a telepathic species.
Biology[[edit] | [edit source]]
Eriscents were under four feet tall, with pale skin and relatively featureless heads. They communicated via telepathy. However, non-Eriscent minds were usually unable to handle mental contact with Eriscents. This often resulted in epileptic seizures and death. (PROSE: The Straw that Broke the Camel's Back)
History[[edit] | [edit source]]
An Eriscent spaceship crashed on Earth in 1969. The Third Doctor was forced to kill it, because the attempts at telepathic communication it was making were unintentionally killing people. (PROSE: The Straw that Broke the Camel's Back)
