Home Planet: Raxocoricofallapatorious
Life Form: Living Calcium bipeds
Episodes: Aliens of London, World War Three, Boom Town

The Slitheen are large green savage criminals. They are eight feet tall, and have large claws at the end of their arms to use in attack. The Slitheen came to Earth, after being thrown out from their home planet, Raxacoricofallapatorious, that if they ever return there, they would be executed! Female Slitheen are known to being able to produce poison. They are able to make poison darts at the end of the finger, which they then fire at their enemy, or they use their poisonous breath. The Slitheen use compression fields, which they have around their necks, which makes them smaller, so that they can fit into skin suits they make from humans that they have killed. They use these skin suits as disguises, so people don’t know who they really are. The suits do have limits though, so the Slitheen family usually just use fat people, as they are too big. The Slitheen’s use of their compression fields mean that they are vulnerable to acetic acid, so if you’re ever in trouble with them, a quick bit of vinegar would kill them nicely! Another side effect of the field was that, due to the gas exchange, the Slitheen could not stop farting. The smell it made was very similar to bad breath, and the Doctor said it was due to the calcium decay. They came to Earth to turn the planet into a huge reactor pile, and then sell the remains of the planet of as cheap, starship fuel. They made a real pig look alien, to distract attention from their main plan, and flew a spaceship, with the pig inside, into Big Ben! The Slitheen family disguised themselves as English government members. They took the skins of the body and hid inside them, using a zip they made on the body’s forehead, to open it up again, so they could take the skins off. The Doctor helped defeat them using a missile onto 10 Downing Street, where the Slitheen were stationed.
