Teleportation
Teleportation was a form of matter transmission and could be either a process of physical/psychological will or a technological one.
Supernatural teleportation
The Kitlings and those affected by the Cheetah World could teleport from their home to hunt, and then return through what was a physical (or possibly psychological or instinctual) process. The ability could also be transferred as Ace, Midge, the Master and the Seventh Doctor all acquired the ability. It was not permanent in the majority of those who were affected. (TV: Survival)
The Eight Legs of Metebelis III could also teleport, both themselves and the humans that they hung onto, most likely through the psychic link that was developed between the Eight Legs and the human. (TV: Planet of the Spiders)
Unicorns were capable of teleportation. (PROSE: Unnatural History)
Working together, the members of the Sisterhood of Karn were able to perform a teleportation, thanks to their psychic powers. (TV: The Brain of Morbius)
Technological teleportation
Many species and civilisations had teleportation technology. In general, a signal was needed for the teleport to work. The signal needed to be broadcast close to the person or item being teleported. The signal could also be reworked to teleport a person back after they had teleported away. (TV: The End of the World, Boom Town) Teleportation, when power was low, could result in an incomplete transfer, causing part of units to fail to materialise. (PROSE: The Pirate Loop) Teleportation tended to leave behind an energy residue and a distinctive tang in the air. (PROSE: Something in the Water)

- The planet Sto (or at least Max Capricorn Cruiseliners) had a form of teleportation, the full range of which is unknown. However its range was at least enough to teleport from a ship in orbit to the Earth’s surface. It used bracelets, which could detect whether any mishap had befallen the wearer, and could signal the system to hold the molecules of the wearer in stasis as a safety feature. The wearer could then be brought back to the ship, provided that their pattern had been stored in the buffers. (TV: Voyage of the Damned)
