Silurians
The Silurians are a race of reptilian humanoids who first appeared in the long-running British science fiction television series Doctor Who. They are depicted as prehistoric and scientifically advanced, and are said to have lived on Earth long before humans evolved. In their backstory, the Silurians went into self-induced hibernation to survive what they predicted to be a large atmospheric upheaval caused by the Earth capturing the Moon.
The Silurians are broad, three-eyed land-dwellers. They are highly intelligent and technologically advanced, and have a complex social structure. They are also fiercely territorial and will defend their territory from any perceived threats.
The Silurians have been enemies of the Doctor on several occasions, but they have also been allies. In the 2010 episode "The Hungry Earth", the Doctor teams up with the Silurians to defeat a common enemy.
The Silurians are a fascinating and complex race, and they have been a popular part of Doctor Who for many years. They are sure to continue to be a part of the show for many years to come.
