===Abzorbaloff===
[[File:010413-085 CPS (8643954302).jpg|thumb|right|Abzorbaloff, as shown at the Doctor Who Experience.]]
The '''Abzorbaloff''' is a monster designed by nine-year-old William Grantham of [[Colchester]], Essex for a "Design a ''[[Doctor Who]]'' Monster" competition held by ''[[Blue Peter]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/news/cult/news/drwho/2006/06/14/32916.shtml |title=Doctor Who (David Tennant and Billie Piper) – News |publisher=BBC |date=14 June 2006 |accessdate=31 March 2009}}</ref>

The competition was announced in July 2005, and received 43,920 entries. These were judged by Blue Peter editor Richard Marson, presenter [[Gethin Jones]], ''Doctor Who'' producer [[Russell T Davies]] and [[Tenth Doctor]] [[David Tennant]]. The first prize for the competition was to have the monster appear in an episode of ''Doctor Who''. Tennant announced the winner on ''Blue Peter'' on 17 August 2005. Conditions of the competition meant that the monster had to be able to be made from prosthetics and not require [[Computer-generated imagery|CGI]].

Russell T Davies revealed on the ''[[Doctor Who Confidential]]'' episode "New World of Who" that Grantham imagined the Abzorbaloff to be the size of a double-decker bus, so was initially disappointed to see the final size of his creation. However, Grantham's design had not included size specifications (though the remains of the monster's victims on and within his body hinted at his being huge) and a larger size would not have fit the criteria of the competition unless the monster were [[Superimposition|superimposed]] on footage later on a larger scale. Ultimately, CGI was used for some shots of the talking faces on the Abzorbaloff.

Appearing in the episode "[[Love & Monsters]]", the Abzorbaloff, played by [[Peter Kay]], is a creature that absorbs other living beings into his body with a simple touch. In doing so, the Abzorbaloff makes his victims part of himself, adding their memories and knowledge to his own. The victims retain their identity and consciousness for at least several weeks after absorption, during which time their faces can be seen embedded in his flesh, but eventually, those too are eliminated as they are fully absorbed.

===Animus===
The '''Animus''' is an alien intelligence from an unknown planet which lands on the planet [[List of Doctor Who planets#V|Vortis]] and first appeared in the serial ''[[The Web Planet]]'' (1965).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/episodeguide/webplanet/detail.shtml |title=Doctor Who Classic Episode Guide – The Web Planet – Details |publisher=BBC |accessdate=31 March 2009}}</ref>

The Animus returns or is mentioned in several [[Doctor Who spin-offs|spin-off]] stories. In the [[Virgin Missing Adventures|Missing Adventure]] ''[[Twilight of the Gods (Doctor Who)|Twilight of the Gods]]'' by Christopher Bulis, the [[Second Doctor]], [[Jamie McCrimmon|Jamie]] and [[Victoria Waterfield|Victoria]] return to Vortis and encounter a seed of the Animus which had survived. The [[Virgin New Adventures|New Adventure]] ''[[All-Consuming Fire]]'' by [[Andy Lane]] identifies the Animus with the [[Great Old One]] [[Zhar (Great Old One)#Lloigor|Lloigor]] from [[H. P. Lovecraft]]'s [[Cthulhu Mythos]]. An article by [[Russell T Davies]] in the ''Doctor Who Annual 2006'' says that the "Greater Animus perished" in the [[Time War (Doctor Who)|Time War]], "and its Carsenome ''[sic]'' Walls fell into dust." In the 2013 comic book series ''Prisoners of Time'', the [[First Doctor]], [[Vicki (Doctor Who)|Vicki]], [[Ian Chesterton|Ian]] and [[Barbara Wright (Doctor Who)|Barbara]] encounter the Animus on Earth, where it has travelled with help from [[Adam Mitchell (Doctor Who)|a mysterious figure]] who kidnaps [[The Doctor (Doctor Who)|the Doctor]]'s [[Companion (Doctor Who)|companions]].

===Azal===
'''Azal''' is a Dæmon from the planet [[List of Doctor Who planets#D|Dæmos]], who terrorises Devil's End in the [[Third Doctor]] story ''[[The Dæmons]]'' (1971).<ref name="episodeguide1">{{cite web|url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/episodeguide/daemons/detail.shtml |title=Doctor Who Classic Episode Guide – The Daemons – Details |publisher=BBC |accessdate=31 March 2009}}</ref>

In ''[[The Brain of Morbius]]'', '''Morbius''' is a renegade [[Time Lord]] from [[Gallifrey]]. Morbius was eventually executed by his fellow Time Lords for his crimes and his body was dispersed.

The brain is eventually planted in a Frankenstein-esque body composed of the remains of aliens who have crashed on Karn, but Solon is killed when the [[Fourth Doctor]] pumps cyanide gas into the base, and the Doctor subsequently damages Morbius's mind in a telepathic conflict that ends when Morbius is thrown off a cliff.

In the [[Past Doctor Adventures]] novel ''[[Warmonger (novel)|Warmonger]]'', the [[Fifth Doctor]] is forced to visit Karn to get Solon's help to treat his injured companion [[Peri Brown]], resulting in him confronting Morbius at the height of his plans for galactic conquest, the Doctor assuming the identity of the 'Supremo'- Supreme Commander of an alliance of various alien races- that defeats Morbius's own army.

In the audios ''[[Sisters of the Flame]]/[[Vengeance of Morbius]]'', the [[Eighth Doctor]] and [[Lucie Miller]] are caught up in a complex plan to resurrect Morbius, thanks to a cult dedicated to his memory and samples of Morbius's brain.

Lady Cassandra

Cassandra, the physical prop, on display at the Doctor Who Experience.

Lady Cassandra or in full Lady Cassandra O'Brien.Δ17 (pronounced "dot delta seventeen") was voiced by Zoë Wanamaker, and was largely computer-generated,[1] although a physical prop was also used on set.

The Ninth Doctor first encountered Cassandra in the episode "The End of the World" (2005). She returned in "New Earth" (2006), which took place 23 years after "The End of the World". In the year 5 billion, Cassandra is the last full-blooded human alive – over millions of years the rest of humanity's descendants gradually interbred with various other alien races. Like celebrities who try to maintain their appearances with plastic surgery, but taken to a ridiculous extreme, by the time of Earth's destruction Cassandra is little more than a flat piece of skin stretched across a frame, with eyes and a mouth in the middle (her brain is in a jar at the base of the frame).

Professor Zaroff

"Zaroff" redirects here. For the fictional Richard Connell villain, see The Most Dangerous Game.

Professor Zaroff is a mad scientist who plans to destroy the world in the 1967 Second Doctor story The Underwater Menace.

He is fondly recalled by Doctor Who fans as one of the most over-the-top villains in the entire history of the show. Particularly well remembered is his cry of "Nothing in the world can stop me now!", which (due to actor Joseph Furst's German accent) was pronounced as "Nuzzing in Ze vurld can ztop me now!" Only two of the four episodes from this story survive, but the surviving material includes that infamous line.[2]
