Ood - Ood are a pacifistic hive mind creature, originating on the Ood-Sphere. They have three brains: a traditional hindbrain, a forebrain which they carry in their hands, and a third, separate brain, which acts to coordinate all of the Ood. When the Ood were discovered by humans, they were enslaved due to their nonresistant behavior. There are a primarily white-aligned race. All Ood have gestalt.
Dalek - The (((Dalek)))s are a race of genetically engineered organisms within weaponized robotic cases. Daleks' sole purpose is to eradicate all other life-forms, which they believe are inferior. Created by Davros on Skaro during a war between Kaled factions, the Daleks were a by-product of the nuclear warfare between Kaled. At one point, the Daleks attempted to destroy all of reality, that they would be the only remaining lifeforms. Daleks are red- and/or black-aligned artifact creatures, led by the Supreme Dalek.
Cyberman - The Cybermen were originally from Mondas, Earth's twin planet. For an unknown reason, Mondas began drifting away from Sol, prompting the Mondasians to begin augmenting their bodies with cybernetic enhancements to resist the collapse of Mondas' ecosystem. The Mondasian Cybermen flew Mondas back to Earth, but were defeated when Mondas disintegrated. Later, in a parallel universe, an organization called Cybus Industries created the Cybermen in order to conquer the world. Led by the Cyber-Controller, the Cybus Cybermen followed a Dalek null-ship into the main universe, but were defeated by the Doctor when he sucked both the Cybermen and the Daleks into the Void. The ultimate goal of the Cybermen is to convert all other intelligent life into Cybermen, their vision of perfection. Cybermen are green- and/or white-aligned artifact creatures. Many Cybermen have gestalt.
Auton - The (((Auton)))s are made of animated plastic. The Autons are extensions of the (((Nestene Consciousness))), which is an offspring of the Great Old One Shub-Niggurath. The Great Old Ones are beings that existed prior to this universe; when their universe was about to collapse, they shunted themselves through a higher dimension into our universe, where they gained god-like powers. Another Great Old One is (((Cthulhu))). The Consciousness attempts to conquer planets by taking psychic control over the plastic present on that world. Autons are blue- and/or black-aligned artifact creatures. They usually have either gestalt or the ability to copy other creatures.
Judoon - The Judoon are a race of rhino-like intergalactic mercenaries. They act as a police-organization-for-hire, enforcing "laws" outside of traditional jurisdictions. One of their primary employers is the Shadow Proclamation, the agency that sets rules for Mutter's Spiral. They are white-aligned creatures.
Time-Lord - The Time Lords were one of the oldest and most powerful civilizations in the universe. Modern Time Lord civilization was begun by Rassilon, Omega, and the Other (who may have been the Doctor). Omega used the Hand of Omega to turn a star into a black hole; he became trapped, but Rassilon returned the black hole to Gallifrey, home planet of the Time Lords, and trapped the black hole as the Eye of Harmony. The Eye was the power source of the Time Lord empire, and allowed them to travel through time. Time Lords had a strict noninterference policy; however, the Doctor stole a TARDIS, the Time Lords' means of transportation through time and space, and went to explore the universe. Eventually, the Time Lords went to war with the (((Dalek)))s. By the end of the war, the Time Lords had turned into a cruel, weaponized force, and the Doctor had no choice but to destroy Gallifrey and Skaro. After the Last Great Time War, the Doctor believed that he was the last Time Lord in existence. He tries to save others to make up for his destruction of his race. Time Lords may appear in any color.
Brain - A brain as a separate organism is the hive mind of a gestalt organism. For the Ood, this is a literal brain; for the (((Auton)))s, this is a higher-dimensional consciousness.
