Ocean of Ooze
The Ocean of Ooze was a body of liquid on Skaro that separated the continents of Davius, Dalazar, and Darren. (PROSE: The Dalography of Skaro [+]Loading...["The Dalography of Skaro (feature)"], COMIC: Genesis of Evil [+]Loading...["Genesis of Evil (comic story)"]) It contained the Forbidden Islands and the Islands of Moving Mountains, and was connected to the River of Whirling Waters.

The waters around the Islands of Moving Mountains constantly boiled. (PROSE: The Dalography of Skaro [+]Loading...["The Dalography of Skaro (feature)"])
By one account, the neutronic war was largely fought across the Ocean of Ooze, with the Thals living on Davius and the humanoid Daleks on Dalazar. (COMIC: Genesis of Evil [+]Loading...["Genesis of Evil (comic story)"])
Research by human historians of the Daleks uncovered creation myths about the Daleks in some of the cultures conquered by the Daleks, which mentioned the Ocean of Ooze as "a great Sea of Ooze".

Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- In Genesis of Evil, Skaro's two indigenous sentient species live on the continents of Dalazar and Davius, separated by the Ocean of Ooze. By the events of both Genesis of the Daleks and The Daleks, Thals, Kaleds and Daleks inhabited the same continent. The Secret Lives of Monsters offers a partial explanation for the differences between stories. In the book, a Thal account of history states that until most life there was eradicated, the Thals previously lived on the continent of Darren, which was also occupied by the humanoid Daleks in Genesis of Evil. After the devastation, the surviving Thals settled on Davius until drought and failing crops forced them to relocate once again to Dalazar, where they discovered the Dalek City.
- In Matrix Data Bank of DWM 360, the comedic character Sorvad is said to have "come forth from his exile in the Oceans of Ooze".
