  • Scientists: Unarmed and no threat. In some cases, you must exterminate them all before going into another room.
  • Guards: Armed with pistols, takes several hits to destroy the Dalek.
  • Soldiers: Armed with assault rifles, firing faster and dealing more damage than guards.
    • In Level 7 and onwards, guards with cloaking devices appear. The Dalek obtains the Inter-Spectral Vision to detect them.
  • Sentry Unit: The Dalek is unable to destroy it but if it takes several hits, it retreats itself into the ground temporarily. The Dalek can also prevent it from coming back up by occupying its space while it's underground.
  • The Doctor: The Boss. Is able to fire 3 shots at once. When you defeat him in Level 9, you take his alien weapon. He fights the Dalek again in the final level, but since the Dalek has the weapon he is easier to kill.
