Raxacoricofallapatorian: Difference between revisions

Raxacoricofallapatorians were large, bulky [[humanoid]]s. They had large eyes and powerful arms with long [[claw]]s. They had thick, lumpy [[skin]], ranging in colour from a [[yellow]]ish [[green]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Aliens of London (TV story)|Aliens of London]]''/''[[World War Three (TV story)|World War Three]]'') a paler, [[grey]]-green, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Monsters Inside (novel)|The Monsters Inside]]'') a much darker shade of green, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Nightmare Man (TV story)|The Nightmare Man]]'') or a [[brown]]ish [[orange]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Gift (TV story)|The Gift]]'')

Raxacoricofallapatorians hatched from large, green [[egg]]s with several tendrils. ([[TV]]: ''[[Boom Town (TV story)|Boom Town]]'') By the age of twelve, Raxacoricofallapatorians were still considered children and were shorter than a [[human]] of equivalent age. ([[TV]]: ''[[Revenge of the Slitheen (TV story)|Revenge of the Slitheen]]'') As Raxacoricofallapatorians aged, they lost moisture from their tissue, calcifying and effectively turning into stone. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Slitheen Excursion (novel)|The Slitheen Excursion]]'')

Despite their large bulk, they were also capable of surprising speeds and could easily overpower a human. Raxacoricofallapatorians could hunt by scent and could identify an individual's species, age, sex, emotional state and location by it. This sense of smell was officially the best in the [[Mutter's Spiral|galaxy]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Revenge of the Slitheen (TV story)|Revenge of the Slitheen]]'') They could also sense the pain of closely related individuals from far away.
