Name – Krillitane
The
Krillitane are a composite race who ‘cheery pick’
physical traits from the species they conquer, incorporating them
into their own bodies. When the Doctor last encountered them they
looked like humans with very long necks, but after the conquest of
Bessan they were able to take on a bat-like
form enabling them to fly. The can maintain a morphic
illusion of human form. They are carnivorous in either form and seem
able to consume an entire Human child. A side effect of their evolution
is to make Krillitane oil deadly to them.
It reacts like acid on their skin. They sleep like bats, hanging from
the roof, except that they are dormant at night, unlike bats. They
are temporarily disabled by loud noises.
Death – All of the
remaining Krillitane were killed when K9
exploded the Krillitane oil over them and
subsequently blew up the kitchen. There are no known survivors from
that incident, though it is not known if they represent the whole
Krillitane race or, like the Slitheen,
are just one family.
