==Biology== | |||
Skullions were short [[humanoid]]s with one eye on their forehead, large nostrils and bald heads. Pure [[water]] burned them, but they could drink [[citrus]] drinks like [[orange]] and [[lemon]] juice. ([[SJA]]: ''[[The Man Who Never Was]]'') | |||
==Technology== | |||
Skullions travelled in [[flying saucer]]s which were capable of travelling from [[Skultos]] to [[Earth]] in under an hour and [[Teleportation|teleported]] using a green beam. Though they had [[hologram|holographic]] technology, it was fairly unwieldy, requiring constant maintenance to work. Even then, the holograms would glitch. These holograms could be given [[Hypnosis|hypnotic]] powers. They wore brown robes and masks like welding masks. ([[SJA]]: ''[[The Man Who Never Was]]'') | |||

In the early [[21st Century]], a Skullion ship crashed in central [[Asia]] on [[Earth]] and its crew were sold into [[slavery]]. Some were brought to [[England]], where they were purchased by [[John Harrison]]. He used their technology to create a [[hologram|holographic]] copy of [[Joseph Serf]], which used its [[Hypnosis|hypnotic]] powers to convince people to buy [[SerfBoard]]s. | ||
([[SJA]]: [[The Man Who Never Was]]) | |||
In [[2011]], the SerfBoard was being unveiled and Jospeh Serf was needed to make appearances. During the practice for the press conference (which [[Sarah Jane Smith]], [[Luke Smith]] and [[Sky Smith]] were present for), the hologram glitched, tipping them off. When they investigated, Luke and Sky found the Skullions working the hologram. Though they were captured, Luke was able to send a message to [[Mr Smith]] with his [[dog whistle]], who contacted [[Skultos]]. They were able to send a ship to rescue the enslaved Skullions. | |||
