Galathos

The Galathos were a primitive cave dwelling race that lived in the jungles with a strong sense of community. They were ailed by the sickwind, an infection that left many dead, a "Curse from the Gods" they believed,that visited them each year. They believed the native Dramos were responcible and hunted them down for their blood which they believed held the cure. After the Doctor's intervention it became clear that the Dramos held the cure, not in the blood but in their tears, tears that easily flowed on understanding the Galathos loss and pain. They kept small domestic animals like the Palanth as pets. DWAM: Blood and Tears
