'''Dregs''' were the [[mutation|mutated]] remains of those surviving [[human]]s who were left behind following a catastrophic [[war]] on [[Earth]], now designated Orphan 55. Unlike their human ancestors, Dregs required [[carbon dioxide]] to [[breathing|breathe]] and exhaled [[oxygen]] as waste. ([[TV]]: ''[[Orphan 55 (TV story)|Orphan 55]]'') It is possible that these mutants use a form of photosynthesis in order to create glucose, the sugar all life on Earth uses for energy. No other creature was seen on Earth in the timeline where Dregs exist, meaning this is the only way for the Dregs to obtain the energy they need. Dregs have an Alpha that can summon the rest of his kind at any moment.

Dregs were the mutated remains of those surviving humans who were left behind following a catastrophic war on Earth, now designated Orphan 55. Unlike their human ancestors, Dregs required carbon dioxide to breathe and exhaled oxygen as waste.

These creatures are highly adaptive, able to survive the nuclear winter of Orphan 55, the low O2, high CO2 atmosphere of the planet and various forms of weaponry used by the Tranquillity spa staff to repel them, requiring them to use randomisers on their laser blasters in order for their weapons to remain effective.
