[[File:Suzy_writing_letter_while_Black_Dalek_watches.jpg|thumb|In this still from ''[[Dr. Who and the Daleks]]'', the [[Black Dalek (Dr. Who and the Daleks)|Black Dalek]] appears to possess only one luminosity discharger, the other being hidden from view.]]It is likely that the strange colours of the Daleks, as well as their protruding luminosity discharger, can be attributed to the anonymous artist having worked from still photographs of ''[[Dr. Who and the Daleks]]'', the [[1964 (releases)|1964]] feature film with [[Peter Cushing]], which featured a variety of colourful Daleks with large cone-shaped luminosity dischargers. The fact that each Dalek only has one, meanwhile, is easy to chalk up to the pictures available to the artist having been at an angle, not permitting one who hadn't seen the Daleks elsewhere and in motion to realize that a second discharger was hidden from view. | [[File:Suzy_writing_letter_while_Black_Dalek_watches.jpg|thumb|In this still from ''[[Dr. Who and the Daleks]]'', the [[Black Dalek (Dr. Who and the Daleks)|Black Dalek]] appears to possess only one luminosity discharger, the other being hidden from view.]]It is likely that the strange colours of the Daleks, as well as their protruding luminosity discharger, can be attributed to the anonymous artist having worked from still photographs of ''[[Dr. Who and the Daleks (theatrical film)|Dr. Who and the Daleks]]'', the [[1964 (releases)|1964]] feature film with [[Peter Cushing]], which featured a variety of colourful Daleks with large cone-shaped luminosity dischargers.

At any rate, given that this creation of a new Dalek design was by all appearances unintentional, it goes unmentioned in the dialogue of the story, meaning that there exists no set in-universe term for these Daleks. "Asymmetrical Daleks" is simply a moniker coined based on their greatest difference to standard [[Dalek War Machine]]s, namely the fact that their "heads", due to the absence of the right-hand-side speaking light, are [[asymmetry|assymetrical]]. | At any rate, given that this creation of a new Dalek design was by all appearances unintentional, it goes unmentioned in the dialogue of the story, meaning that there exists no set in-universe term for these Daleks.
