Gallifreyan physiology: Difference between revisions

As well as the senses shared with humans, Gallifreyans had further senses, with at least a sixth sense, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Wishing Well (novel)|Wishing Well]]'') although the Doctor tended to keep his sensory input limited to the human norm to make things more interesting and allow himself to be surprised. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Eye of Heaven (novel)|Eye of Heaven]]'') Gallifreyans had time- and spatial-related senses and physical attributes; they were able to resist fields of slow time, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Time Monster (TV story)|The Time Monster]]'', ''[[Invasion of the Dinosaurs (TV story)|Invasion of the Dinosaurs]]'') notice distortions and jumps in time, ([[TV]]: ''[[Invasion of the Dinosaurs (TV story)|Invasion of the Dinosaurs]]'', ''[[City of Death (TV story)|City of Death]]'', ''[[The Lodger (TV story)|The Lodger]]'') retain perception of local time flow, including a secondary "backwards" consciousness during jumps back in time that could overwrite the one prescribed by forward time, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Space in Dimension Relative and Time (comic story)|Space in Dimension Relative and Time]]'') directly perceive the interstellar motions of cosmological bodies or their inhabitants ([[TV]]: ''[[Rose (TV story)|Rose]]'') — including sensing the "shape" of the world to the extent that they were aware when trapped in pocket dimensions such as [[Lychburg]] ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Heart of TARDIS (novel)|Heart of TARDIS]]'') — and perceive all possible timelines. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Parting of the Ways (TV story)|The Parting of the Ways]]'', ''[[The Fires of Pompeii (TV story)|The Fires of Pompeii]]'') Gallifreyans could sense the presence of others of their own species, with the sense being specific enough to allow identification of one another just by sight, regardless of potential recent regeneration. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Sound of Drums (TV story)|The Sound of Drums]]'') Due to their time sensitive nature, Gallifreyans could retain memories of negated ([[TV]]:''[[Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS (TV story)|Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS]]'') or alternative ([[TV]]: ''[[The Name of the Doctor (TV story)|The Name of the Doctor]]'', ''[[The Time of the Doctor (TV story)|The Time of the Doctor]]'') timelines.
