Stone Dalek

The Stone Daleks were a pair of progenitor Daleks, left as an "after image" when Dalek history was temporarily erased when the universe was destroyed on 26th June 2010.

History
The stone Daleks were two of the progenitor Daleks present at the Alliance's sealing of the Doctor in the Pandorica in 102 A.D. As the cracks in time continued to run rampant across the universe, Dalek history was erased, leaving the stone Daleks as "after images".

The Pandorica contained atoms from the original universe, taken before the cracks started to erase events, and had the ability to sustain life. Light from within the Pandorica restored one of the Daleks, albeit with limited power. The Dalek shot the Doctor, managing to severely wound the Time Lord, but at the cost of depleting its energy reserves. It was then confronted by River Song. It initially disbelieved that River would destroy it, based on the fact that she was one of the Doctor's companions and would therefore show mercy. She told it to look her up in its data banks, to which it then asked for mercy. She refused, and shot it through the eyestalk with an Alpha Meson gun, killing it.

When the Doctor reset the universe and timeline, the stone Daleks, along with all things that were destroyed throughout history, were restored to their original form and place in space and time. (DW: The Big Bang)

Behind the scenes
The stone Dalek which activates in The Big Bang was an altered model of the Strategist Dalek. This was confirmed by an operator in a Doctor Who Magazine interview.
 * The reactivated Dalek was the first to actually be heard crying "Mercy". The lone Dalek in Dalek cried for the Doctor to "Have pity".
 * It is unknown which Dalek of those present under Stonehenge the restored Dalek actually was. The lack of a deep voice suggests that it was not the Supreme. However, it's voice is similar to those of the red Drone Daleks in City of the Daleks and Nicholas Briggs has stated that the voice used in the Adventure Games is the voice he would use if he ever had to voice the red Daleks on TV.
 * Three stone Daleks and two stone Cybermen were supposed to be seen in The Big Bang. Due to the costume necessities for The Pandorica Opens, the budget did not allow, though most of a stone Cyberman was seen when the Doctor escaped the Pandorica. However, a stone Auton Roman appeared.

When the Stone Dalek moves itself and its eyestalk, it makes the same sound as the Russel T. Davies era Daleks do when they move.


 * Due to the events of the Big Bang Two the Stone Dalek never existed but was returned to its form as a supposed projenetor Dalek, even though River Song did destroy the Stone Dalek, after the Doctor was shot by the Dalek.
