Tythonians subsisted on [[chlorophyll]] and mineral salts, which they could absorb through their skin. Their mineral rich diet allowed them to weave a special, extremely tough material from their tube-like pseudopods. This material was self-regenerating and could fulfil a variety of functions.

Tythonian technology was usually based on materials that they could naturally weave. [[Erato]] travelled in a massive [[Tythonian ship|egg-like craft]] of this material, with a photon drive made of other metals. Tythonians could also control the paths of [[neutron star]]s, which they used in times of war. Once they manipulated the path of a neutron star, they would then direct it towards a star in a solar system where their enemies were located and destroy them. | Tythonian technology was usually based on materials that they could naturally weave.

At some point in history, the planet [[Tythonus]] was running out of [[chlorophyll]] for food. The Tythonians discovered that [[Chloris]] was rich in plant life and could use the metals of [[Tythonus]]. The Tythonians sent [[Erato]] to try to set up a trade agreement, but he was captured by Lady [[Adrasta]] and was trapped in a mine for fifteen years. | At some point in history, the planet [[Tythonus]] was running out of [[chlorophyll]] for food.

Erato was eventually saved by the [[Fourth Doctor]], but the distress signal of his spaceship was picked up by the Tythonians, who launched a [[neutron star]] at Chloris' [[sun]] in retribution. With the help of Erato, the Doctor was able to save the planet and set up a trade agreement.
