They were amazingly strong, being able to restrain a human with ease. They were also vicious fighters and were trained to slit a human's throat with their bare teeth. They were killed by [[Martha Jones]] and Laszlo with electricity from a lightning strike ([[DW]]: ''[[Daleks in Manhattan]]''/ ''[[Evolution of the Daleks]]'').
