The Urbankans were green skinned [[humanoid]]s with lumpy features and clawed hands. They were bald with lumpy features and two bumps above their eyes. They could secrete a deadly poison out of glands on their necks that would compress organic matter. ([[DW]]: ''[[Four to Doomsday]]'') One trillionth of a gramme could reduce a [[humanoid]] to the size of a grain of [[Table salt|salt]].

The Urbankans were slowly being converted into [[android]]s over 40,000 years and during this time, the [[Monarch]] made four trips to [[Earth]]. Though the response was always hostile, the Urbankans were able to capture a few [[human]]s. These [[human]]s were also converted into [[android]]s and were allowed to stay. As well, the speed of the trip was increased each time as more and more improvements were made. [[Monarch]] planned to finally discover the secret to [[faster-than-light travel]], whereby he would go back in time to meet [[God]], which he believed would be himself. | The Urbankans were slowly being converted into [[android]]s over 40,000 years and during this time, the [[Monarch]] made four trips to [[Earth]].

Back on [[Urbanka]], the [[planet]] was continuously mined for more raw materials for the [[android]]s. Eventually, by the [[6th century|700s]], the planet was uninhabitable, meaning all 3 billion Urbankans had to move. They decided to go back to [[Earth]] and strip mine it as well. Despite this, [[Monarch]] was stopped and the [[human]] [[android]]s decided to go their own way.
