Animated scarecrow (Human Nature)
The Family of Blood used animated scarecrows as mindless soldiers through the power of molecular fringe animation in rural 1913 England.
History
Jeremy Baines of Farringham School for Boys had already stumbled across their ship and had his body taken over by Son of Mine.
- Son of Mine implied that he had created the walking scarecrows while occupying Jeremy Baines' body.
The Family then used scarecrows to abduct humans to be used as bodies for the incorporeal Father, Mother and Daughter.
The scarecrows were used as an army to attack Farringham School for Boys, where many were shot down. Eventually, they re-animated to do more of the Family's bidding. They were presumably made inanimate again after the Family's defeat. Son of Mine was himself turned into an immobile living scarecrow (of a different kind) by the Tenth Doctor.
