The Reapers would search out disturbances in time, such as [[temporal paradox]]es, leave the [[Time Vortex]] and "sterilise" the area by devouring everything. Older objects were stronger against them and sentient beings were of more interest than inanimate objects. They devoured creatures through their mouths, leaving no trace. They also released a golden glow from their eyes and under their skin when attacking, or about to attack. | The Reapers would search out disturbances in time, such as [[temporal paradox]]es, leave the [[Time Vortex]] and "sterilise" the area by devouring everything.

He warned her not to interact with their other selves, but she ignored this warning when she saved her father; a wound in time was created by her intervention, and thus the Reapers were able to enter the universe, and begin "sterilising the wound" by feeding on [[human]]s. The Doctor and a handful of survivors managed to take refuge in an old [[church]], where he planned to bring [[The Doctor's TARDIS|his TARDIS]] to them. Unfortunately, Rose touched her infant self, allowing a Reaper to enter the church, devour the Doctor and disrupt the TARDIS. The Reapers were expelled from the universe again when Peter restored the timeline by jumping in front of the car which should have killed him.
