Biology
The appearance of the Viyrans is unknown, as they were always seen to wear white hazmat suits. They appeared to be humanoid, with 3 fingers and a thumb on each hand. They had no real spoken language, but were able to communicate psychically, through hand motions or by trying to replicate an individual's voice. (BFA: Patient Zero)

History
The Viyrians waged a war with an unknown force, using a variety of viral weapons. Peace was eventually reached, and the biological weapons were gathered together in Amethyst Viral Containment Station, planning to destroy them. A final peace agreement was reached and the biological weapons were gathered together at the Amethyst Viral Containment Station with the intention of destroying them. During an incident with the Doctor and the Daleks the viruses were spread throughout the universe. They began travelling through the universe, trying to find and cure these diseases.
