Daleks

The Daleks are a race of mutants from the planet Skaro. They are a violent, merciless race of aliens that seek total conformity to their will, the conquest of the universe, and the extermination of all life that is deemed to be inferior.

They were invented by the scientist Davros during the final years of the thousand year war between his people the Kaleds and the Thals. Damaged Kaleds were experimented on by Davros and placed inside metal casings, wiping them of all emotion. The Daleks soon grew to believe themselves to be the supreme life in the universe. They view the Doctor as their archenemy, due to his skill at thwarting their plans.

History
The Daleks were invented on Skaro by the scientist Davros. After supposedly killing him they gained a form of self-preservation. They first encountered the Doctor in his first incarnation when he arrived on Skaro, and were only able to move along metal surfaces. After their power supply was destroyed, these Daleks ceased to function. They later conquered the Earth in the 22nd Century, now with the ability to move beyond metal surfaces. Soon they developed interstellar space and even time travel.

Due to a brutal war with the Movellans, the Daleks chose to revive their dormant creator, who was in suspended animation on Skaro. Davros was unable to win the war for them, and was arrested. He was later freed by Commander Lytton and went on to create a new race of Daleks from races other than the Kaleds, which lead to a Civil War between Davros' Imperial Daleks and the Dalek Supreme's Renegade Daleks. Both of these factions were destroyed.

The Daleks also executed the Master for his crimes. A lone Dalek was found on the Nihil's TARDIS, wiped of its memories and weaponry.

Physical Appearance
The Daleks partially resemble their creator's own life support chair, at least on their lower half, which is composed of a skirt section covered in hemispheres, with a fender on the base. Their midsection is composed of metal slats, with a manipulator arm and weapon on the front. Their domed head is topped with lights that blink on and off when they speak, and they see out of an eye stalk that protrudes from the front of their head.

The mutant inside is often octopus like, and green in colour, sometimes possessing a claw.

Powers and Abilities
Dalek weaponry is able to kill instantly, or simply stun when needed. They are able to levitate up stairs, despite their perceived handicap.
