Enemies of Doctor Who

Doctor Who has had many enemies over the years and I won't be able to go into each one. I just want to cover the Daleks, the Cybermen, and the Master. The Master is an enemy of the Doctor but he was also a Timelord and you'll find him on the Timelords page.

Daleks - a race of aliens from the planet Skaro or should I say that most of them are from the planet of Skaro who desire to take over the Earth and "exterminate" the Doctor. Davros is/was the emperor of the Daleks who somehow survived the Time War against the Timelords. They first appeared in "The Daleks" with the first Doctor.

Cybermen - a race of cybernetic robots who have lost their humanity. They will do anything to ensure the survival of their race even if it means destroying the Doctor. They first appeared in "The Tenth Planet" with the first Doctor. They were originally a wholly organic species of humanoids from Earth's twin planet Mondas.

Sontarans - The Sontarans are from the planet Sontar and are physically formidable with a weak point in the back of their neck. They live and breathe to fight and are very militaristic. They are a cloned race and all are male. They are considered the best soldiers in the galaxy. They first appeared in "The Time Warrior" with the third Doctor.

Autons - The Autons are life-sized plastic dummies that are animated by Nestene Consciousness, an extraterrestrial gestalt intelligence (Group Mind) which first arrived on Earth in hollow plastic meteorites. Their name comes from "Auto Plastics", the company that the Nestenes infiltrated and manufactured their Auton Shells. The Autons have weapons within their hands which can kill or vaporize. They first appeared in "Spearhead in Space" and were also in "Terror of the Autons" and "Rose".

Zygons - The Zygons no longer have a home world because it was destroyed in a stellar explosion. They escaped in a small craft and crashed in Lock Ness. And of course they want to kill everyone and colonize the world with Zygons. The Zygons have a shape-shifting ability in which they can change into another being as long as that being is alive. They first appeared in "Terror of the Zygons" during the fourth Doctor.

Sea Devils - Sea Devils are a amphibious reptile-like beings that lives during prehistoric time in an aquatic environment and are scientifically advanced. They are cousins with the Silurians and resemble the dinosaurs. They first appeared in the "Sea Devils" with the third Doctor.

Silurians - Silurians is a reptile-like race and were Earth's first sentient beings that lived during prehistoric time and were also scientifically advanced. The name of the race is considered wrong and the other name is Eocenes but is also considered wrong since the Eocenes lived after the dinosaurs. They first appeared in Doctor Who and the Silurians with the third Doctor.

Ice Warriors - The Ice Warriors are a reptilian humanoids and originated on Earth. They are large, claw-like hands on which are mounted sonic weaponry. Their voice have a whispery hissing quality. They first appeared in "The Ice Warriors" with the second Doctor.

The Yeti - The Yeti are alien robots even though they resemble Earth's version of the yeti. The Yeti serve the Great Intelligence, a disembodied entity from another planet, which tried to form a body in order to conquer the Earth. The Yeti first appeared in "The Abominable Snowmen" with the second Doctor.
