Meglos, the last Zolfa-Thuran, impersonates the the Doctor (DW: Meglos)
Physical characteristics
The Zolfa-Thurans are normally immobile, cactus-like plants. Reaching around 1.5 metres tall, the Zolfa-Thurans can't actually do much. They seem to have telepathic powers which allows them to be very perceptive and allows them to communicate with other life-forms.
Technology
The Zolfa-Thurans have access to very advanced technology. One of the more unusual devices turns the target into energy. While they are in the energy form, they can possess a humanoid and can then interact with their environment. They can also change the appearance of the possessed humanoid, but only to a similarly shaped being. As well, the host takes a more cactus-like appearance over time.
Another major technological development is the Dodecahedron. The Dodecahedron can produce enough energy to power the galaxy, or a galaxy-spanning weapon. The Dodecahedron was being used by the Tigellans to power their city.
History
Soon after the creation of the Dodecahedron, the Zolfa-Thurans went to war to stop the use of this enormous power-source. During this war, the entire planet was ravaged, leaving the only sand. Alone of the Zolfa-Thurans survived the war, Meglos, survived, and tried to get back the Dodecahedron. Though he succeeded in obtaining it, Zolfa-Thura and everyone on it was destroyed due to the Doctor's meddling.
