The '''Tythonians''' | The '''Tythonians''' were a species of giant [[alien]]s from [[Tythonus]]. | ||
== | ==Biology== | ||
The Tythonians were massive, blob-like organisms, sometimes hundreds of feet long. They were glowing green in colour and had an outer membrane that looked similar to the covering of a [[brain]]. They had no true limbs, but they had two large pseudopods. One pseudopod was shaped like the letter Y, while the other is simply a large tube. They also had no vocal cords and needed to communicate with the aid of [[Tythonian Communicator]]s, but they could apparently sense their environment by unknown means. Tythonians could live for 40,000 years. | |||
Tythonians subsisted on [[chlorophyll]] and mineral salts, which they could absorb through their skin. Their mineral rich diet allowed them to weave a special, extremely tough material from their tube-like pseudopods. This material was self-regenerating and could fill a variety of functions.

==Technology== | |||
Tythonian technology was usually based off the materials that they can naturally weave. [[Erato]] travelled in a massive egg-like craft of this material, with a photon drive made of other metals. Tythonians could also control the paths of [[neutron star]]s, which they use in times of war. The Tythonians also made use of [[Tythonian Communicator]]s to speak with other species. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Creature from the Pit]]'') | |||
:''Tythonians seemed to have limited dexterity, which would have made the construction of the communicators difficult. Possibly, the communicators were made by another species to facilitate interactions.'' | |||

At some point in history, the planet [[Tythonus]] was running out of [[chlorophyll]] for food. The Tythonians discovered that [[Chloris]] was rich in [[:Category: Plants|plant life]] and could use the metals of [[Tythonus]]. The Tythonians sent [[Erato]] to try to set up a trade agreement, but he was captured by [[Adrasta]] and was trapped in a mine for 15 years.

The Tythonians sent [[Erato]] to try to set up a trade agreement, but he was captured by Lady [[Adrasta]] and was trapped in a mine for 15 years. He was eventually saved by [[Fourth Doctor|the Doctor]], but the distress signal of his spaceship was picked up by the Tythonians, who launched a [[neutron star]] at its [[sun]]. With the help of Erato, the Doctor was able to save Chloris and set up a trade agreement. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Creature from the Pit]]'') | ||
