The Lone Magpie's definitions
Iconic villain from the British TV series Dr Who. Though their appearance is robotic, the Daleks are actually little green blobs mutated from members of the Kaled species by their chief scientist, Davros, and placed in robotic armoured travel machines.
The Daleks were bred to become the superior beings by exterminating all other life forms, so that none could rise to threaten them. The eponymous Dr Who is the only thing has stood between them and universal domination
In real life, the Daleks were created by scriptwriter Terry Nation (who also created Blakes 7), while the Dalek machine props for the TV show were devised by production designer Raymond Cusick
