Cybermats were used by the Cybermen created by {{Simm}} on the [[Mondas|Mondasian]] [[colony ship (World Enough and Time)|colony ship]]. One group of Cybermen, under orders from a [[Cyber-Planner (Alit in Underland)|Cyber-Planner]], attempted to use a swarm of Cybermats to attack the colonists of [[Floor 0507]] so that they would be easier to capture for [[Cyber-conversion|conversion]].

After [[Nardole]] and the colonists of Floor 0507 evacuated to [[Floor 0502]], large groups of Cybermats continually traveled to their location, arriving at the [[solar farm]] every [[spring]] for several centuries, even after Nardole's'''<nowiki/>''' [[death]], though by that time the colonists had “sorted” their conflict with the Cybermen.
