A couple of great ides @whisht and @haveyoufedthefish
A Govish would be quite terrifying spinning their way out of trouble, with no-one ever quite able to pin them down 😉
@juniperfish Yes I enjoy foes who are not all bad too, the Daleks as composers though, what sort of music would they create?
I think we could have two types of “monster” creation, a one episode special and the Everest, a new “Dalek” type
Since 9 we have had some brilliant new foes, the Angels, the Vashta Nerada and the Silence in Torchwood we had the 456 and governments of Earth as child snatching villains (as a parent it struck viscerally home)
The Sea Devils really worried me as a child (in fact hmmm) and unexpected noises in the dark/night. I remember being woken by an owl, at about age 8, hooting outside my bedroom window, I was in my parents room in nanoseconds.
So a quick one here “The Dark Matter”
The Tardis materialises and our intrepid duo/trio are off to sight-see some fantastical northern lights, they meet up with another group of elderly campers who are off to do the same.
As they make their way to the viewing point and it grows dark, the breeze is heard rustling the leaves on some nearby trees, then no rustling, a torch is shone but one tree has gone.
As night falls they all bed down, an elderly couple in the group, she wakes up to see her partner popping outside, the tent blows in the breeze and the partner dissolves into the ground.
Slowly through the long night more of the elderly are sucked into the earth and a rainbow of light flickers away.
The Doctor works out that after a few more disappearances that the polar lights are in fact “the souls” of the departed of anything plant or animal that dies naturally on this planet.
The breeze is seen by the Doctor or companion as a shadowy dark shadow and eventually contact is made.
The shadows are a fusion of dark matter and energy trying to re-balance the universe after the re-boot from the Pandorica as the universe is so new there is not enough dark energy or matter in the universe to make it stable. So the dark energy is messing with the Pauli Exclusion Principle to absorb matter and energy into itself to preserve the whole universe.
Waay too much coffee on a sleepless night and profuse apologies to those who actually understand physics.
