Blathereen family


 * See also, Slitheen-Blathereen family

The Blathereen were a family of Raxacoricofallapatorians,descendants of the Plom family and the Huspick Degenerate, eventually going into criminal activity. They were in competition with their cousins the Slitheen family, and had gained an advantage by 2500.

Early history
The Blathereen were once a major family on Raxacoricofallapatorius, until the rise of Slitheen; sometime before then, an inter-clan marriage had taken place. They were generally benevolent and content with middle management, though the Slitheen-Blathereen offshoot considered them weak and feeble (SJA: The Gift). The Blathereen were not evil like their cousins The Slitheen, and hunted them down, although they were involved in criminal dealings in the past but they kept this a secret from their people as they knew that if they found out they like the Slitheen would be exiled and hunted down.(Doctor Who Files 3: The Slitheen) It wasnt until the 26th century they became criminals.

21st century
Some Blathereen mingled with the Slitheen, creating the Slitheen-Blathereen. (SJA: The Gift)

In Glune Fex Fize Sharlaveer-Slam Slitheen's to strip Sol of of its energy one of his priorities afterwards was to defeat the Blathereen. (SJA: Revenge of the Slitheen)

26th century
By 2501, some or all of the Blathereen had become a criminal family. They were controlled by Don Arco, an obese Raxacoricofallapatorian, and there were enough criminal Blathereen to replace most of the government of Justicia.

They had been trying to create a massive warp-hole to move the entire Justicia system. The plan was to warp Justicia into other solar systems. With the compression technology used in their disguises, they planned to use Justicia's sun as a massive flamethrower. They would destroy planets and use the remains as nuclear fuel (using a similar plan as the Slitheen family used in 2006, but on a larger scale). The prisoners already in Justicia would be used to process the fuel. They were defeated by the remaining Slitheen and the Doctor. (NSA: The Monsters Inside)

Most of the Blathereen were killed by rioting prisoners in Justicia and the rest were killed when the Blathereen mothership was destroyed.(NSA: The Monsters Inside)

Behind the Scenes

 * The Blathereen are also possibly orange, like the Slitheen-Blathereen, though evidence from The Monsters Inside suggests that they are green like the Slitheen.However when the Slitheen are apprehended by the Slitheen-Blathereen they mistake them for real Blathereen so its likely the Blathereen bred with green Raxacoricofallapatorians with the whole family eventually becoming green by the 2501.
 * It has been annoucned that either the Blathereen or Slitheen will make an appearance in Series 4 but they will not have a large role. If the Blathereen do appear it is possible this could be refering to the Slitheen-Blathereen.
