Abzorbalovian

"" was a name ascribed by Captain Jack Harkness to the race that came from the planet Clom. (WC: )

Biology
Abzorbalovians shared several features with Raxacoricofallapatorians such as yellowish-green skin (with a tint of beige), surprising speed, hands and feet with three digits, and a tail. There were also several features they possessed that were different from their cousins, such as normal humanoid eye colours, purplish warts about their bodies, and a mane running from the top of their heads to the small of their backs. However, the main feature that truly distinguished them from Raxacoricofallapatorians was their human-like head with pointed ears and folds of skin on their cheeks. Absorbalovians had the ability to absorb life forms by touching them. Absorbed victims would retain their consciousness and appear as faces on an Abzorbalovian's flesh for several weeks at least. Positions ranged from the stomach, shoulders, chest, back and even buttocks. Once fully digested, the faces of said victims, while clearly deceased, were still somewhat visible. Abzorbalovians could fart due to their digestion, similar to humans. When a being was absorbed, their knowledge and experiences were also absorbed, which apparently affected how they tasted. (TV: Love & Monsters)

Technology
One Abzorbalovian that was dubbed an "Abzorbaloff" used a limitation field to control his absorption abilities. He also used some sort of technology to appear human. (TV: Love & Monsters)

Culture
Some Abzorbalovians were xenophobic and despised Raxacoricofallapatorians. They had little shame and would wear no clothing beyond underwear. They seemed to disregard the lives of creatures they absorbed and took great pleasure in absorbing and digesting them. (TV: Love & Monsters) The father of the Abzorbaloff claimed that it was a natural instinct the species simply gave into. (WC: The Genuine Article)

Occasionally, Abzorbalovians bred with Raxacoricofallapatorians. A subgroup known as the "Abzorbalovian Rebels" were descendants of the Raxacoricofallapatorian families, Chippeen and Fittereen. (WC: )

History
The Abzorbalovians were part of the four-world Raxas Alliance along with the Raxacoricofallapatorians and the people of Raxacoricovarlonpatorius and Clix. (TV: The Gift)

The Raxacoricofallapatorian Clom colonists set up a colony on Clom. The Abzorbalovian Rebels were a notorious criminal organisation descended from the Raxacoricofallapatorian Huspick Degenerate. (WC: )

In early 2007 an Abzorbalovian rebel came to Earth with the intention of finding the Tenth Doctor to absorb him, gain all his knowledge and experience and take his TARDIS. After absorbing several victims to feed himself, he tracked down LINDA, went to their meeting place and offered to help them find the Doctor. He took over the organisation. While LINDA worked to find the Doctor, he absorbed most of them to further feed himself, claiming they simply left the group (Bliss and Bridget) or were currently elsewhere (Mr. Skinner). However Ursula Blake and Elton Pope discovered his true intentions. He then absorbed Ursula and tried to absorb Elton, but the Doctor and Rose Tyler found Elton and delayed the absorption. Before he could absorb Elton, the absorbed victims fought back and the Abzorbalovian, nicknamed the Abzorbaloff, died when Elton destroyed his limitation field. Three of his victims died with him, while Ursula survived as a face on a slab of concrete. (TV: Love & Monsters)

The father of the Abzorbaloff arrived on Earth two years later to seek revenge on the Doctor. After trapping the Doctor, the Abzorbalovian unleashed the Krakanord, which betrayed him. (WC: The Genuine Article).

In 3764, Clom pulled out of peace talks among the Raxas Alliance. As such, their denizens did not participate in the peace conference on Clix and the ensuing Grand Raxian Hunt against Slist Fayflut Marteveerthon Slitheen and Rose Tyler. (COMIC: Doctormania)
