According to research papers read by the [[Fifth Doctor]] on [[Riften 5]], Dalek mutants involved in the "[[War of Sharpened Hearts]]" were all sourced from a genetic code found to have originally been from male Kaleds. Recalling this, the [[Seventh Doctor]] imagined that the DNA of all Dalek mutants came exclusively from men, believing [[Davros]] had reached a [[Sexism|sexist]] conclusion that female Kaleds were of a "inferior genetic stock". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Christmas on a Rational Planet (novel)|Christmas on a Rational Planet]]'') However, female Kaleds had actually indeed been harvested for their DNA by Davros, with the Kaleds [[Milal]] and [[Kelleher]] coming to exist during the [[Last Great Time War]] due to [[time distortion]] caused by the Dalek that held their places in the main timeline.

In the era of Dalek history where the [[Dalek War Machine]]s were confined to the [[Dalek City]], new Dalek mutants were grown in an aqueous solution drawn from the [[Drammankin Lake|Lake of Mutations]] on the city's [[incubation level]].

During the [[Dalek-Movellan War]], the Daleks reengineered themselves into quasi-robotic creatures to understand their foes, ejecting their organic selves into the wilds of Skaro.

Dalek mutants appeared different over time, and, as noted above, during the war between the Imperial and Renegade Dalek factions, the two sides had physical differences, with Davros' side now altered into true [[cyborg]]s and physically made one with their travel machines, ([[TV]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)|Remembrance of the Daleks]]'') whereas they had only used the casings as battle armour and were not actually integrated into them.
