Any clothing the person was wearing was modified into that of a doll's; extras were sometimes added, such as the hat in Amy's case. None of the person's original personality remained; the [[Eleventh Doctor]] referred to it as a state of "living death". It was possible to reverse the process, and the victim had full memory of the ordeal. The dolls were also capable of talking, and were heard singing a haunting rhyme leading towards the Doctor's death.

The Peg Dolls sang a haunting nursery rhyme throughout ''[[Night Terrors]]'', but it made a return in the series six finale. Their song went as follows: | |||
Tick tock goes the clock / And all the years they fly / Tick tock and all too soon / You and I must die. | :"Tick tock goes the clock / And what then shall we see? / Tick tock until the day/ That thou shalt marry me. | ||
:Tick tock goes the clock / And all the years they fly / Tick tock and all too soon / You and I must die. | |||
:Tick tock goes the clock / We laughed at fate and mourned her / Tick tock goes the clock / Even for the Doc - | |||
:Tick tock goes the clock | |||
:He cradled and he rocked her / Tick tock goes the clock / Even for the Doctor. | |||
:Doctor, brave and good, / He turned away from violence / When he understood / The falling of the Silence. | |||
:Tick tock goes the clock / He cradled and he rocked her / Tick tock goes the clock / 'Til River kills the Doctor. | |||
:Tick tock goes the clock / He gave all he could give her / Tick tock goes the clock / Now prison waits for River. | |||
