Haemovariforms had very sensitive ears. It had fur which covered its body and a wolf-like head, as well as a tail. Their vision was monochromatic. Haemovariforms were highly resistant to bullets and they were able to be made to think that they were allergic to mistletoe. The only known way to kill a Haemovariform was over-exposure to the moonlight on which they thrived, like a [[plant]] in relation to [[sunlight]], though the Doctor indicated that [[silver]] [[bullet]]s would work as well. Their sharp, vicious [[teeth]] and [[claw]]s were capable of ripping people to pieces. ([[TV]]: ''[[Tooth and Claw (TV story)|Tooth and Claw]]'') | ||

According to the [[Tenth Doctor]], a single cell could take at least a century to mature. If infected by a very small number of cells, he hypothesised that [[Victoria|Queen Victoria]] could remain more or less human, but presumably end up passing on the infection via bites down the generational line till the Haemovariform reached maturity. | According to the [[Tenth Doctor]], a single cell could take at least a century to mature.
