The '''Gabrielidean'''s were a [[liquid]]-protean [[lifeform]].
The '''Gabrielideans''' were the natives of the [[Gabrielides]].


Before being converted into an idea-based lifeform by [[the Enemy]], the [[Shift (Alien Bodies)|Shift]] was a Gabrielidean [[soldier]] fighting for the [[Time Lord]]s against the Enemy. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Alien Bodies (novel)|Alien Bodies]]'')
== Biology ==
Gabrielideans were a [[liquid]]-protean [[lifeform|bioform]]s. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Alien Bodies (novel)|Alien Bodies]]'', ''[[The Book of the War (novel)|The Book of the War]]'') [[Shift (Alien Bodies)|Mr Shift]] remembered experiencing "dripping one drop at a time into the me-pool". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Book of the War (novel)|The Book of the War]]'') However, when interacting with the rest of the universe, Gabrielideans customarily formed themselves into human skin-suits, like the one used by [[Gabriel (Alien Bodies)|Mr Gabriel]].


== Behind the scenes ==
When the [[Time Lord]]s allied with the Gabrielideans just before the start of [[the War]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Alien Bodies (novel)|Alien Bodies]]'') they poured a "packet of powder" into Gabrielidean soldiers to overwrite their [[biodata]] and change their physical form ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Book of the War (novel)|The Book of the War]]'') so they would be able to use humanoid skinsuits and be protected from [[the enemy]]. When he spilled out of his suit, Mr Shift appeared pink. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Alien Bodies (novel)|Alien Bodies]]'')
In his commentary for ''Alien Bodies'', author [[Lawrence Miles]] reveals that he intended them to be connected to the [[Droge of Gabrielides]], who the [[Fourth Doctor]] said had offered an entire solar system for his capture in [[TV]]: ''[[The Sun Makers (TV story)|The Sun Makers]]''.

Like most [[humanoid]] species, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Dead Romance (novel)|Dead Romance]]'') Gabrielideans could be driven mad by the fluorescent aurora of [[Simia KK98]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Alien Bodies (novel)|Alien Bodies]]'')
 
== Culture ==
The Gabrielideans didn't have individual names. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Alien Bodies (novel)|Alien Bodies]]'') [[Droge]] was a title in their society. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Sun Makers (TV story)|The Sun Makers]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[Beige Planet Mars (novel)|Beige Planet Mars]]'')
 
== History ==
The Gabrielidean military only did relatively local missions to planets like [[Terra Neutra]] before they allied with the [[Time Lord]]s against [[the enemy|their enemy]] in [[the War]]. After the alliance, however, they immediately began launching full-scale planetary invasions, sending battlefleets to [[Dronid]] and scouting missions to [[Simia KK98]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Alien Bodies (novel)|Alien Bodies]]'')
