The Mentors were a race of amphibious capitalists.

Physiology
Mentors had an upper body of a humanoid and a segmented tail. They had fins around their head and large flaps between their arms and bodies. They came in a variety of skin-tones, including green and tan. They were cold-blooded and had both lungs and chest gills. Young Mentors also had poisonous stingers on their tail, but this is generally lost at a certain age. (DW: The Trial of a Time Lord: Mindwarp) They required constant moisture to remain comfortable.(DW: Vengeance on Varos) Mentors are apparently quite long-lived; one individual lived for at least one hundred years. .(DW: Vengeance on Varos, DW: The Trial of a Time Lord: Mindwarp)

Culture
Mentors are a highly mercantile species, running such companies as the Galatron Mining Corporation and the Search Conv Corps.

They also used slavery, transporting the Near-Human Alphans from the neighbouring planet Thoros Alpha. The Mentors worshipped Morgo. They believed that the dead went to the Plague Hall of Mogdana. (DW: Mindwarp)
