The Boneless experimented on and dissected three-dimensional lifeforms and objects, eventually learning how to exist as three-dimensional beings themselves. Their transformation into 3-D beings was not perfected however, resulting in an appearance where they seemed partially 3-D and partially 2-D. | The Boneless experimented on and dissected three-dimensional lifeforms and objects, eventually learning how to exist as three-dimensional beings themselves.

The Boneless created a dimensional energy deficit in Bristol, drawing the TARDIS 120 miles off-course. ([[ | The Boneless created a dimensional energy deficit in Bristol, drawing the TARDIS 120 miles off-course. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Monster Vault (novel)|The Monster Vault]]'') Trapped in [[The Doctor's TARDIS|his TARDIS]] when its dimensions were drastically reduced, the [[Twelfth Doctor]] was assisted by [[Clara Oswald]] in investigating the cause of its miniaturisation. Upon discovering the creatures' presence, he initially hoped that their experimenting on the [[human]]s in [[Bristol]] was strictly due to some misunderstanding; the Boneless originated from a universe with only two dimensions, and therefore were unable to communicate in a language that 3-D organisms could comprehend. However, following some experimentation, he was able to establish rudimentary communication with them, consisting only of sonically encoded numbers. Their subsequent naming of the numbers on the jackets of both a previous victim and their next victim convinced the Doctor they were likely able to read, and were thus aware of what they were doing. | ||
After the TARDIS was restored with the help of Clara and her newfound friend [[Rigsy]], the Doctor, satisfied that he had given them a fair chance, used his [[the Doctor's sonic screwdriver|sonic screwdriver]] and an energy field from the TARDIS to forcibly send them back to their home dimension. He did so without regard to their chances of survival on the return trip, and with the following warning to any more Boneless who wished to conquer his home universe: "You are not welcome here! This plane is protected! I am the Doctor!". The Doctor didn't know whether the Boneless entered his universe to invade, infiltrate or just to "replace" humanity, but he believed that the role they "seem[ed] determined to play" was that of "monsters", and with him being "the man that stops the monsters", it was his duty to defeat them.
