Aplan

Aplans were the native inhabitants of the planet Alfava Metraxis.

Biology
The Aplans were humanoid lifeforms with two heads. The heads apparently had their own separate intelligence and personalities as, for in at least one period, heads of the same body were allowed to marry each other. The church later attempted to ban this practice. (DW: The Time of Angels)

Culture
According to the Doctor, the Aplans were a relaxed and cheerful species - a fact he attributed to having the constant company of a second head. He also described them as prolific builders, and their civilization left notable landmarks on their home planet of Alfava Metraxis. These included the Aplan Mortaria, sometimes known as Mazes of the Dead. These were large subterranean labyrinths with tombs in the walls, adorned with statues of the dead. The Mazes had six levels, representing the ascent of the soul in the Aplan religion. The Aplans were fastidious at recording their social, cultural and political history. (DW: The Time of Angels)

History
In the 47th century, a large population of Weeping Angels came to Alfava Metraxis and wiped out the Aplans, quickly causing the collapse of their civilization. Having hunted the Aplans to extinction, the Angel colony lacked any further energy source and over the centuries, the being energy deprived began to degrade and went into hibernation.

 * Since the Weeping Angels fell into the Crack in Time they stopped existing, this means the Aplans could now be still alive since the Angels weren't around to kill off the Aplans. However, since the Cracks were closed and never existed in the first place, it is probable that the Angels really did wipe out the Aplans and were later defeated by a different method.


 * Since the Weeping Angels were able to destroy the entire Aplan civilization it is likely that the Aplans were not space-faring and were therefore limited to Alfava Metraxis. They were, however, part of the larger stellar community as the Church tried to ban self-marriage, a practise of the Aplans.
