Threllips were large creatures with arms as thick as tree trunks. They had at least four different [[DNA]] streams, creating different types of Threllips; "C" and "D" Threllip DNA streams were bred for labour work, the other streams were for leader types. They could become drunk on [[Earth]] [[alcohol#Wine|alcohol]]. ([[ | Threllips were large creatures with arms as thick as tree trunks.

The Threllips were an aggressive species, known for conquering planets. They were governed by the [[Threllip Empire]]. The [[Eighth Doctor]] consider them socially primitive and incapable of joy.

The Threllips were technologically advanced; enough that they had dealings with the [[Time Lord]]s. They travelled using [[transdimensional portal]]s, allowing them to travel vast distances. They used [[radium]]-powered blasters, with a hand-held blaster capable of destroying an entire forest. Threllips were grown in [[birthing tank]]s and they had scanners capable of detecting temporal machines.

In [[1982]], [[Vengorr]] and [[Thon]] were sent to [[Ferrara]], [[Italy]] to set up a [[transdimensional portal]] so that the Threllips could invade.

They claimed that Vengorr would become the leader of the new empire and Earth was to be the first planet he would conquer. The Doctor showed Vengorr around Ferrara, which was celebrating Italy's victory in the [[World Cup]]. The Doctor claimed that they were suffering a plague called "the World Cup Fever". When a drunken [[human]] came too close, Vengorr threw him away. The Doctor claimed that Vengorr was infected from this and had to drink [[Alcohol#Wine|wine]] to cure himself. Vengorr became so drunk that he was unable to function and had to return to his homeworld, ostensibly to cure the fever. While the Doctor was showing Ferrara to Vengorr, Thon stayed behind to set up the transdimensional portal. When Thon asked about his fate in history, Charley claimed he would be forgotten completely except as the name of Vengorr's pet [[wartsnoggler]]. When Vengorr returned, Thon was so angry that they started fighting. While they were fighting, the Doctor was able to reprogram the transdimensional portal, sending Vengorr and Thon to one of the moons of [[Mordelius Prime]].
