The Wrarth Warriors were a race biologically constructed by the Star Council - from the five strongest species of the Wrarth Galaxy - to act as a police force specifically to deal with the Meeps.
Biology[]
The Wrarth Warriors were created from the five strongest species of the Wrarth Galaxy. They were arthropods, with a tough chitinous exoskeleton. With their external skeleton acting as a skelo-shield they had formidable strength. Their eyes were like large lights and gave them excellent infra-red night vision (susceptible to ultra-white light). They were also said to have a yellow glow. (AUDIO: Doctor Who and the Star Beast) Their teeth were razor-sharp and their tongue were developed with digits to secure their food. They had a giant detachable claw on the left arm and a five digit tendrilled hand on the right. (COMIC: Doctor Who and the Star Beast)
History[]
During the war with the Meeps, the Wrarth Warriors were created by the Star Council to combat them. Following the Battle of Yarras, the Meeps were defeated, but their leader, Beep, escaped. Circa 1980, Constable Zreeg and Sergeant Zogroth were sent in to try to find him. They both arrived on Earth and with the Fourth Doctor's help Beep was taken into custody. (COMIC: Doctor Who and the Star Beast) By another account, Zreeg and Zogroth arrived in 2023 and were assisted by the Fourteenth Doctor.
