Life Form: Winged Stone Humanoid
Episodes: Blink
The Weeping Angels, or Lonely Assassins were creatures from the early universe, which could send its victims back into the past at a single touch. The fed on the potential energy their victims could have had, if they had not zapped them back into the past. They had a special defence system, called quantum locking, in which when a living organism looked at them, they would turn to solid stone and not be able to move, and looked like normal statues. But when you blinked, or turned you back on they would move at incredible speed, to try to catch their victims. This was a problem when there is a group of one of more of them, as if they look at each other, they would stay like that forever. This is why they usually put their hands or arms in front of their faces, which looked like they were weeping, hence their given name, the Weeping Angels. They seemed to also have some sort of psychic abilities, as one was able to flicker and turn off a light bulb, just by pointing at it! They were the nicest of killers, as their method was to make them live to death, but in the past. A quartet of angels, in the year 2008, managed to stand the Doctor and Martha in the year 1969, leaving the Tardis behind. The Weeping Angels wanted access to the Tardis, to use it’s near temporal energy, in a process in which would be capable of turning of the Sun! The later found the key for the machine, but Sally Sparrow, looking at the angels, took it off them, wondering what the key was for. After that they started to stalk Sally, in attempt to get the key back, but were defeated when they surrounded the Tardis, with Sally inside. Sally had taken instructions from the Doctor. It de-materialised, leaving the angels looking at each other.
