=== Biology ===
The Gastropods resembled [[humanoid]] slugs. They left a sticky trail. Unspeaking, they followed the commands of Mestor, leaving one to assume they made only vestigial intelligence. Mestor planned to make the Jaconda's sun go [[supernova]] so as to scatter Gastropod eggs into space. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Twin Dilemma]]'')

=== Abilities ===
Jaconda, once a verdant paradise, became a despoiled wasteland once the Gastropod appeared and making the [[Jacondan]]s slaves in their own world. (Whether the Gastropods originated in space or in another part of Jaconda remains un-chronicled.) The [[Sixth Doctor]] killed Mestor and ended the reign of the Gastropods. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Twin Dilemma]]'')
Gastropods had a form of mental powers which they could use to either kill individuals or take over their mind and communicate through them. They could also communicate telepathically. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Twin Dilemma]]'')
