Axos

Axos was a scavenger entity that came to Earth, supposedly in need of fuel. Its real motivations were to drain all energy from Earth in an attempt to gain the secret of time travel.

Biology
Axos was composed of the parts Axonite and the Axons. All the elements of Axos were unharmed by gunfire. Axos was telepathic, linking all the parts together but all the elements of Axos could feel the pain of each other.



Axonite
Axonite was the miracle element that the Axons traded with Mr. Chinn for the energy to re-fuel their ship. Axonite was a living substance and they claimed that it could be used to enlarge and decrease the size of organisms as well as copy them. It was sent around the world to key scientific points, where it would drain energy evenly from those points. (DW: The Claws of Axos)

Axons
Though Axons had humanoid features, they too were part of the main Axos structure. They first took the form of golden skinned humanoids, but their true forms were large, tentacled creatures. They were capable of using their tentacles to disintegrate their enemies. (DW: The Claws of Axos)

Technology
The Axons described their technology as having taken a more organic route. They grew their ships from Axonite. The ships were covered in eye, some embedded in walls, other on stalks. The Axons could communicate through them and the pupils lit up when they did so. Claws also covered the ship acting as restraints for prisoners. A long tube could be fired out the ship to drag victims within. (DW: The Claws of Axos)



History
The Axos worlds were on the edge of the galaxy. They were crippled by extreme solar flare activity. Axos was the last remnant of their culture. They were scavengers sucking planets of their energy. Axos encountered the Master at an unknown point in time. They captured his TARDIS and kept him prisoner; he directed them toward Earth expecting an exchange for his craft.

Following their arrival on Earth, they attempted to start a 'feeding cycle'. They met with UNIT and promised them large amounts of axonite so they could enlarge food and end world hunger. UNIT ordered worldwide distribution of Axos. The Doctor realised that the Axons planned to use the axonite on Earth to drain the planet of all its energy. They took power from a nuclear power plant, they later raided the plant killing members of UNIT. They cloned Bill Filer to gain information but the real Bill escaped, preventing this. The Doctor stopped them by placing Axos in a time loop. (DW: The Claws of Axos) Some of the axonite was kept by various forces. The Forge had a sample of axonite. (BFA: Project Lazarus)

The Axons managed to escape the time loop, and infiltrated 21st Century Japan. Disguising themselves as humans, they produced a Television programme for children that promoted a new kind of soft drink, Goruda. When the children drank the liquid, they gained telepathic abilities and were gradually transformed into Axons. (DWM: The Golden Ones)

In 2050, an Axon was imprisoned by the Department in the Dauntless Prison. It was later set free by K9 Mark 2 and his friends. (K9TV: Liberation)
