Boekind

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

Boekind was a species from the Silver Devastation.

Biology[[edit] | [edit source]]

Boekind were large, humanoid heads with numerous tendrils which terminated in round pod-like structures in place of hair. (TV: The End of the World)

Boekind could communicate telepathically and were able to speak, although they often preferred telepathy. (TV: New Earth, Gridlock)

Life cycle[[edit] | [edit source]]

Based on a newscast by Bad WolfTV, it was possible for a member of Boekind to become pregnant and (TV: The Long Game) their young were called Boe-lets. (PROSE: Time Traveller's Diary)

Technology[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Face of Boe at least lived permanently in a life support tank with added teleportation capabilities. (TV: The End of the World, New Earth, Gridlock)

History[[edit] | [edit source]]

In the year 200,000, which the Ninth Doctor knew to be the time of the Fourth Great and Bountiful Human Empire, the Face supposedly gave birth to the Boemina. (TV: The Long Game) It was during the Fourth Great and Bountiful Human Empire that Boekind became all but extinct, whilst the Face of Boe lived on. (PROSE: The Time Traveller's Almanac)

Indeed, by the time of his hospitalisation and near-death in 5,000,000,023, the Face was the last of his species. (TV: New Earth) He later sacrificed himself to save the inhabitants of New New York in the year 5,000,000,053, rendering Boekind extinct. (TV: Gridlock)
