Life

Life was the state of being alive. It existed on the planet Olympus before anywhere else in the universe. However, the Olympian Prometheus stole the life spores and released them, spreading life across the rest of the universe. (COMIC: The Life Bringer!) This was known as the First Proliferation, described as "life's opening lunges from impossible planets circling frozen stars and black suns". (PROSE: The Knight, The Fool and The Dead)

The Seventh Doctor remarked that life would defeat Gavrok. (TV: Delta and the Bannermen)

Historians who had been allowed access to the "Monster Vaults" of the databanks in the Doctor's TARDIS observed that the heads of the Abzorbaloffs' absorbed victims remained alive and conscious within the Abzorbaloff's digestive tract and only when it had completely drained their brains were the heads fully assimilated into its "fleshy corpulence".
