Adipose

The Adipose were a race of vaguely humanoid blobs of fat.

Biology
Young Adipose were hand-sized, marshmallow-shaped beings, composed almost entirely of fat. They had two eyes and a mouth on their face, two arms with webbed hands and two stumpy legs. (DW: Partners in Crime)


 * The appearance of adult Adipose is that they can grow up to 4.02 meters.

Life Cycle

 * Whether or not this is the natural means of reproduction is unknown.

The Adipose reproduced on Nursery Worlds. When on Earth, the Adipose's development was started when a pill from Adipose Industries was ingested. The young Adipose would grow, collecting fat from around the body. Every night, the Adipose would then be born and leave the body. They could convert other material into fat; however, this practice was not good for their health. Alternative materials included the bones, organs, muscles and many other Human tissues. In emergencies, this was used to dispose of people by turning them completely into Adipose. (DW: Partners in Crime)

Technology
Adipose technology included the pills used on Earth to germinate young Adipose and Nursery Ships equipped with levitation beams. (DW: Partners in Crime) he is gay

History
The Adipose originally came from the planet Adipose III, which was taken by Davros. (DW: The Stolen Earth) After the Adipose First Family lost the nursery planet, they hired wet nurses in order to find new places to breed their offspring. (DW: Partners in Crime)

On Earth, the wet-nurse Matron Cofelia set up Adipose Industries and disguised the Adipose seeds in the form of weight-loss pills, using Humans as surrogates. The pill was gaining over a million customers quickly. When the Doctor and Donna Noble discovered the alien secret behind the supposed diet pills Matron Cofelia ordered the immediate birthing of all Adipose. The Adipose Nursery Ship collected the babies then ordered the death of "Miss Foster", as Cofelia was known, to remove any evidence, as breeding on a Level 5 planet was an illegal act under the Shadow Proclamation.

Behind the Scenes

 * Adipose is, in reality, fat tissue of the Human body, which is what the Adipose are named after. The real adipose is mentioned in the scientific explanation Miss Foster presents.
 * The Mill made stress balls for themselves designed in the image of the Adipose.
 * The computer-generated Adipose came in two forms. Adipose in the background of many shots were created with a form of artificial intelligence to prevent the need of having to individually animate each individual Adipose, but the ones in the foreground were hand animated.
 * In the scene with the Shadow Proclamation it would have featured Adipose and have also shown adult ones which are very large. (DW: The Stolen Earth)
