Life Form: Straw
Episodes: Human Nature, The Family of Blood
The scarecrows were made by the Family of Blood, who had come to Farringham School in 1913, to track down the Doctor, who was hiding as a human. They used them as their armies. They looked like ordinary English straw men, that were put in fields. They were not cybernetic in any way. They were just made of, simply, burlap and straw, and could not talk. According to Son of Mine, one of the Family of Blood, he made them using ‘molecular fringe animation, fashioned in the shape of straw men’. These scarecrows kidnapped Humans and took them to their spaceship to be used as bodies for the incorporeal Family. They were also used as an army to attack a boys school in 1913, where many were shot down. Eventually, they re-animated to do more of the Family's bidding. They were again inanimate after the family's defeat. Son of Mine was placed in suspended animation inside one of the scarecrows, by the Doctor, when they were defeated.
